2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · EN62 ABF

The 2026‑01‑27 MOT at 98,494 miles passed without any defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. The consistent pass across the last four tests suggests no worsening mechanical condition. Mileage has risen from 88,860 miles in January 2023 to 98,494 miles by January 2026, an increase of 9,634 miles over three years, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year, which is below the typical 7,500‑mile annual usage for a 13‑year‑old car and points to lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. The jump from 88,860 miles in 2023 to 95,422 miles in 2024 represents a 6,562‑mile increase in just over a year, after which the annual mileage slowed. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding rear brake calipers, as these components often show wear before an MOT failure; the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee their condition, so visual inspection and play testing are advisable. Attention should also be given to brake disc condition, structural rust, and exhaust integrity, as these are common areas where hidden wear can affect roadworthiness. Overall, the vehicle’s documented history reflects a stable maintenance record with moderate mileage accumulation, but a thorough in‑person examination of suspension, braking, and structural integrity components is essential before purchase.
