2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · AE64 OGZ

The 2014 Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 59,314 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure logged on 3 October 2024 at 57,404 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical fault on the day. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Recorded distances moved from 53,489 miles at the 28 September 2022 test to 55,005 miles in September 2023, then 57,404 miles in October 2024, and 59,314 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 1,900 miles per year across the recorded period, well below typical averages. The clean sheet across every test suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though long idle spells implied by low annual use can conceal perished rubber components and corrosion not visible during a brief road test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. The absence of advisories on brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions across five years is favourable, but MOT testers do not strip components. Verify the 3 October 2024 failure entry with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, and check tyre sidewalls and wiper condition for age-related degradation not captured by the pass results.
