2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · EN62 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to its most recent test. The June 2025 inspection at 97,959 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing throughout 2024 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets basic regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 66,894 miles in May 2022 to 80,556 miles in June 2024, and finally to 97,959 miles in June 2025. This gradual increase suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-usage vehicles. The single failure recorded on 11 May 2022 at 66,894 miles does not appear to indicate a systemic issue, as the vehicle passed immediately following that test without any subsequent advisories. Because the recent records show no mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion, the vehicle appears to be in a good state of repair regarding its structural integrity and consumables. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of wear items that the MOT does not scrutinize in detail. Given the mileage, I recommend checking the condition of the brake discs for lip formation and inspecting the underside for any signs of rising corrosion on the exhaust or fuel lines. While the MOT record is clean, a close examination of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the suspension arm bushings will provide a more complete picture of the vehicle's current mechanical health.
