2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DE10 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-15 at 94,496 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Prior tests in 2024-05-20 and 2024-05-15, both at 93,699 miles, recorded failures but no specific defects, suggesting potential minor issues resolved before the latest pass. The 2023 tests at 88,687 miles also showed failures without defects, though the lack of detailed findings limits analysis. Overall, the absence of recurring critical faults in the latest test implies the car is currently roadworthy, though historical gaps in defect reporting require caution. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,496 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 5,906 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. Notably, the 2024-05-15 test at 93,699 miles repeated the same mileage as the 2024-05-20 test, raising questions about data accuracy or potential periods of inactivity. This low mileage could indicate infrequent use, increasing risks of component degradation from stagnation, such as corrosion in the exhaust system or seized suspension components. The 2023-05-17 test at 88,687 miles also repeated the same mileage, further highlighting inconsistent recording. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from underuse-related wear. Check for corrosion in the exhaust system and structural rust, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, which can develop during prolonged inactivity. The brakes should be tested for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as infrequent use may cause sticking. While the MOT record shows no recent critical issues, the lack of detailed defect reports and repeated mileage entries necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
