Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a history of
Given the high mileage and the specific failures recorded, you should prioritise a professional mechanical inspection. Pay close attention to the steering system, as the 2023 records show play in both the nearside and offside steering rack inner joints. You should also ask for evidence of recent suspension work, specifically regarding the coil springs and shock absorbers which have been flagged in previous tests.
Negotiate the price based on the potential for upcoming maintenance. The 2025 MOT noted play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint, which may require attention soon. Ensure you verify the service history to see if the steering rack and suspension components identified in the 2023 failure have been properly replaced or repaired, rather than just patched to pass the test.
As a 1.5L petrol model, running costs will be moderate for a small hatchback. You should expect typical fuel economy for a 2010 petrol engine of this size, though high mileage can impact efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Insurance groups for this era of Mazda 2 are generally manageable, but check the specific group for this 1498cc engine variant. Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage, particularly regarding suspension components like coil springs and ball joints which have appeared frequently in the MOT history.
The primary area for inspection is the underside and steering assembly. The MOT history shows a history of steering rack inner joint play (2023) and anti-roll bar ball joint play (2025). A test drive is essential to check for any knocking, clunking, or vague steering response.
Secondly, inspect the suspension and tyres. The vehicle has a history of corroded coil springs (2024) and various tyre issues, including uneven wear and damage. Check the condition of the shock absorbers, as a serious fluid leak was recorded in the 2023 failure. Finally, ensure all lighting elements and headlamp aims are functioning correctly, following the significant lighting failures noted in the October 2023 test.
This 2010 Mazda 2 (EO60WXM) has covered 119,551 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,640 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues, including a major failure in October 2023 involving steering, lighting, and suspension components. While the most recent test in October 2025 was a pass, the vehicle has a documented history of recurring suspension and steering concerns.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with common failure points including suspension arms, coil springs, and headlamps.
