2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · AX59 CXH

The 2010 Mazda 2 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 October 2025 at 80,375 miles with zero defects recorded. The two most recent annual tests both resulted in passes, and the minor advisories that did appear in 2023 and 2024 were trivial electrical faults rather than mechanical or structural concerns. No recurring defects have persisted across consecutive tests, which indicates the vehicle has been kept in reasonable working order rather than allowed to accumulate unresolved faults. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of this age. At roughly 16 years old with 80,375 miles recorded, the annual accumulation averages approximately 5,023 miles per year. The intervals between tests confirm consistent but light use: 1,444 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, and 2,032 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest the vehicle has been sitting unused for extended periods or subjected to unusually high wear. The mileage progression is steady and believable. The only defects recorded across the entire history are a non-functioning offside rear fog lamp identified on 14 October 2024 and a significantly reduced nearside front position lamp intensity flagged on 2 October 2023. Both were rectified before the retests on the same dates. These are minor electrical consumable issues, not indicators of deeper wiring faults or neglect. No suspension components, brake system defects, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion have ever been flagged. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully assess. Check the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, inspect the underside for corrosion given the vehicle's age, and examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear despite the clean test history. Verify all exterior lighting functions correctly and test the exhaust system for any developing leaks. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
