2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CU13 PXS

The vehicle currently holds a failed MOT status from the 31 March 2026 test at 37,177 miles, with no defects formally recorded against that failure. The maintenance trend is unstable and irregular rather than steadily improving, given two prior failures in 2023 and 2024 alongside intermittent passes. A clean advisory sheet across all entries suggests no chronic corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects were logged by testers, yet the repeated failures without recorded defects point to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than resolved mechanical faults. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2013 registered car. The 23 May 2023 failure at 23,232 miles preceded a pass on 3 October 2023 at 23,239 miles, a gain of only seven miles across five months. The 24 September 2024 failure at 31,767 miles became a pass two days later at 31,769 miles, again just two miles added. By 31 March 2026 the odometer read 37,177 miles, meaning roughly 5,400 miles accrued over eighteen months. The pattern implies long stationary periods broken by short local trips, with the car presented for test prematurely on at least three occasions. A buyer should physically verify why the most recent test failed with no defects listed, as DVSA systems occasionally omit minor items such as worn wiper blades or lamp faults from the extract. The two-day failure-then-pass cycles in September 2024 suggest the owner corrected a trivial item quickly, but the same behaviour in 2023 and 2026 warrants confirmation the car was not failed on structural or emissions grounds later cleared informally. Given the low annual average near 2,860 miles, inspect brake discs for rust pitting from disuse, check tyres for sidewall cracking due to age rather than tread wear, and confirm underbody structural integrity where moisture may have gathered during standing periods. No recurring mechanical trend is visible in the data, though the repeated failures without advisories merit a documented explanation before purchase.
