2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DA60 KZD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-21 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, as all preceding tests—including the 2024 and 2023 cycles—also passed without fail. The absence of recurring advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, upkeep. However, the duplicate entry for 2023-10-23—one pass and one fail—indicates a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were logged in either instance. The recorded mileage of 94,186 miles over approximately 16 years equates to an average of around 5,887 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hydraulics due to static load. The most recent MOT was conducted just eight months ago, well within the three-year validity window, but the gap between tests remains consistent at one year, which is standard. No advisories in prior tests imply no hidden issues were flagged, though the low mileage does not negate the need for thorough inspection of high-wear items that degrade over time regardless of usage. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to drying out and cracking over time even with low mileage. The brakes should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the absence of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration in components like brake discs or master cylinders. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for corrosion, as rust can compromise the vehicle’s safety-critical frame and subframe connections. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points in older models. The vehicle’s history suggests it has been well-maintained, but wear on non-consumable parts demands verification.
