2013 Mazda 2 Venture Edition 1.3L Petrol · UJZ 6028

The 1.35-litre petrol engine in this 2013 Mazda 2 is a small, efficient unit that typically returns strong fuel economy in the high 40s to low 50s mpg in real-world use, keeping weekly fuel bills modest. Road tax for a petrol car of this size and age is usually in the lower bands, and insurance groups for the Mazda 2 of this era are generally low, making it cheap to cover for new or older drivers. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance are around £800-£1,000, though this will vary with mileage and location.

Although the MOT history shows no failures or advisories, you should still physically inspect the white bodywork for rust starting around wheel arches and sills, as older Japanese superminis can show corrosion if neglected. Check the 1349cc engine for smooth cold starts, no unusual noises from the timing chain, and clean oil, since the MOT does not assess mechanical wear. Verify the mileage progression is genuine against service stamps and previous MOT certificates, as the step from 23,806 miles in 2021 to 58,539 in 2025 is plausible but should be documented.
