2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · DT54 MAM

The 2014 Mazda 2 has a recent MOT history with a pass on 2025-10-09, but the previous failure on 2025-10-07 shows a fractured nearside rear coil spring, which is a serious safety concern. This defect was not rectified before the next MOT, suggesting potential ongoing issues with suspension integrity. There is a clear recurring pattern of component failures. The front brake pads were below the legal limit in 2024, and now the rear coil spring has failed. These issues point to either neglect, poor maintenance, or excessive wear in these areas. The trend appears to be worsening, as problems are reoccurring within short timeframes. At 52,676 miles over 12 years, the average annual mileage of around 4,390 miles is very low. This suggests the car has seen light use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage can reduce general wear, it also raises concerns about components like rubber parts, fluids, and electrical systems that may have degraded due to prolonged disuse. The vehicle’s condition trend is concerning.
