2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CU63 GGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 74,776 miles secured a pass despite noted corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames, the preceding history shows recurring failures in suspension components. The transition from the December 2024 failure to the January 2026 pass indicates that critical mechanical faults are only being addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 13 years old, this Mazda 2 has a low annual mileage profile of approximately 5,752 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data shows a notable gap of over 10,000 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 1,650 miles since. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, as evidenced by the fractured coil spring and leaking shock absorbers recorded during the various inspections. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the structural integrity of the sub-frames, as the January 2026 report flagged corrosion that, while not yet a failure, represents a progressive issue common on this model. The history also highlights a weakness with the front suspension, specifically ball joints, track rod ends, and shock absorbers failing multiple times. Any physical inspection should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the records show that edge-wear and sidewall damage were previously ignored until they reached the legal limit.
