2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DA13 WVM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-10-31 at 71,492 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This indicates the car met roadworthiness standards at that time, but the absence of subsequent tests—over four years prior to the current date—raises concerns. No maintenance trends can be confirmed due to the sparse record, though the lack of advisories or failures in the single test suggests no immediate mechanical or structural issues were identified. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,492 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 5,499 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual mileage. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like seals, batteries, and suspension bushes. The four-year gap since the last MOT further complicates assessment, as critical systems such as brakes, steering, and exhaust would not have been independently verified for deterioration or corrosion. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage does not preclude age-related fatigue. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored without regular use. Structural integrity, including rust on the underbody or chassis, is also critical, as the MOT does not test for extensive corrosion. The absence of recent MOT data means these elements must be physically examined to confirm continued roadworthiness.
