Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for buyers see
Prioritise a review of the full service history to determine how the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained over its 139,700-mile lifespan. Given the MOT failures in March 2025 and March 2026, you should specifically verify the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit again.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the mileage, which is well above the expected average for this age of vehicle. Ensure that the track rod end issue noted in 2025 was fully rectified and that no new suspension noise is present during a test drive.
The 1349cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, which typically keeps fuel costs manageable. As a small hatchback, it generally sits in a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and high mileage, meaning maintenance requirements for wear-and-tear items are likely to be more frequent. Expected costs include standard annual tax for a 2013 petrol engine and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect all tyres, as the MOT history reveals repeated failures for worn or damaged tyres in both 2025 and 2026. Pay close attention to the offside front track rod end and general suspension components; a dust cover failure was recorded in March 2025, and aggregate data indicates suspension arms and coil springs are common failure points for this model.
Check the operation of all exterior lighting, specifically the registration plate lamps which caused a failure in March 2026. Finally, test the windscreen wipers to ensure they clear effectively, following the failures recorded in March 2025.
This red 2013 Mazda 2 has covered 139,700 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,640 miles per year. The MOT history shows a trend of failures related to tyre wear and minor consumables, including a failure in March 2026 for damaged rear tyres and a registration plate lamp. It is a high-mileage example of a model that maintains a general aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.6%.
The Mazda 2 demonstrates a stable reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 79.6% across 127,934 analysed vehicles.
