2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · CY60 BHP

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the April 2026 test at 88,905 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. A second attempt on 1 April 2026 at 88,950 miles also closed with a failure but no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 88,905 against a 2010 build, equating to roughly 5,557 miles per year. The odometer moved from 85,128 in April 2024 to 86,927 in April 2025, then to 88,905 by April 2026, showing consistent low annual use of under 2,000 miles per year. Such light running over sixteen years suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, which can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion even where the MOT shows clean. The DVSA record raises no recurring faults on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity, so no specific defect trend requires flagging. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, brake caliper freedom, and tyre sidewall condition, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop hidden rust and flat-spotted tyres unseen by the annual test. Given the clean sheet across all three examinations, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The twin April 2026 entries with zero defects imply the vendor resolved a non-mechanical failure promptly. Treat the low mileage as a benefit, but verify the car has not suffered from disuse-related degradation before purchase.
