2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · GY10 ADZ

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its mechanical roadworthiness, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 7 January 2026 at 103,513 miles. While the record shows two failures, these were recorded on the same dates as the subsequent passes in both 2026 and 2024, suggesting that any identified defects were minor and rectified immediately to secure a pass. The absence of recorded advisories across the last three years indicates a consistent level of upkeep and a lack of escalating issues with emissions or structural integrity. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,470 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 92,858 miles in January 2024 to 96,901 miles in January 2025, and finally reaching 103,513 miles by the start of 2026. This steady progression suggests the car has been used regularly for short to medium distances rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which helps prevent seized components and perished rubber seals. Because the MOT history does not specify the exact nature of the failures in January 2024 and January 2026, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the current state of consumables. You should pay close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often trigger failures in vehicles of this age and mileage. Given the consistent mileage, check the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the calipers are not binding. A thorough check of the underside is also advised to look for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the previous failures suggest the car may occasionally require minor attention to lighting or wiper blades. Verify that all recent repairs were documented by a garage to ensure the vehicle's maintenance remains on its current positive trajectory.
