2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CX63 DVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed the MOT on 19 January 2026 at 93,282 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 93,281 miles due to critical brake failures. The trend of worn brake discs and thin pads persisting since 2022 indicates that the owner only addresses these mechanical components when they reach the point of failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 30 months between the June 2022 and December 2024 tests, during which the car covered roughly 6,000 miles. The recent interval of 3,800 miles between late 2024 and early 2026 shows more frequent use, though the low mileage-to-age ratio often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must closely inspect the rear suspension, as the record consistently flags corrosion on the trail arms since 2024. Although the tester noted this was not yet seriously weakened, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests an ongoing process of rust that will eventually require structural attention. The front brake system was clearly replaced following the January 2026 failure, but the quality of this work should be verified to ensure the calipers were not seized during the period neglect. Additionally, the nearside front tyre shows a history of cuts across multiple tests, which should be checked for internal structural damage to the sidewall.
