2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DA14 UOO

The Mazda 2 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 20,214 miles passed with zero defects recorded, indicating no active mechanical or structural concerns at that point. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the final entry, improving, as the only defect in the entire history was a minor advisory that did not recur. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2014 vehicle. Covering just 20,214 miles over roughly twelve years equates to approximately 1,684 miles per year, well below the UK annual average. The record shows consistent but sparse use, with the 5-mile gap between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests suggesting the vehicle may have stood for long periods. This ultra-low mileage means consumable wear is minimal, but a buyer should consider whether prolonged inactivity has caused issues not captured by the MOT, such as perished rubber components or stale fuel. The sole advisory appeared on 2 January 2025 at 20,209 miles, flagging the nearside front tyre as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This did not reappear in the 2026 test, suggesting the tyre was replaced. No other defects were recorded across the entire five-test history, which is a strong indicator of sound mechanical health. The absence of recurring brake, suspension, or exhaust faults is particularly encouraging for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should still inspect the tyres in person, checking the date stamps and condition of all four, including the spare, given the history of perishing and the likelihood of age-related deterioration on a low-mileage car. Examine the underside for surface corrosion on suspension components, brake lines, and subframes, as standing vehicles can develop cosmetic corrosion that may not yet constitute a failure. Test the brakes for binding or uneven wear, and check the exhaust for any signs of leaking, particularly around joints and mountings.
