2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DE10 ADX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent April 2025 inspection at 60,395 miles. The 2022-03-17 test recorded a failure, though no defects were listed, which may indicate administrative error or a minor non-technical issue. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent compliance, suggesting no emerging mechanical or structural risks. No advisories or critical failures appear in the history, reflecting a maintenance record free of significant concerns in the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 60,395 miles at 16 years old is unusually low, averaging 3,775 miles annually. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and fluid systems. Notable gaps between MOTs—such as the 11-month interval between the 2022-03-17 test and the 2023-02-25 retest—may indicate irregular servicing. However, the absence of recurring defects in the record implies that the vehicle has not suffered from severe mechanical degradation despite its low mileage. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for dry or worn bushes, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or binding. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the car was stored without regular use. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, the lack of high-mileage wear does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection of brakes, steering, and body panels. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests cautious ownership, but physical checks remain essential to confirm its current condition.
