2011 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · EW52 BEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 2 December 2025 at 82,654 miles. While the record shows an initial failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor defect was rectified quickly without recurring mechanical failures. Since November 2024, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating that the mechanical condition remains consistent over the last eighteen months. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,510 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 3,928 miles between December 2023 and November 2024, followed by over 9,200 miles in the twelve months leading up to the December 2025 test. This pattern of low annual use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the intermittent usage increases the risk of component degradation in rubber-based parts and brake systems due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage cars of this age often suffer from corrosion if not stored dryly. Despite the clean MOT history, the inspector must verify the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or per, which can perish during long periods of standing. Additionally, checking the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers is essential to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in a lack of friction necessary to keep the braking surfaces clean.
