2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FA13 JAT

The 2014 Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 64,474 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed clean. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or unresolved defects over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 64,474 against an April 2025 test, equating to roughly 5,373 miles per year from new. The April 2024 test showed 59,344 miles and the April 2023 test 55,255 miles, giving a steady annual increment near 4,000 miles. The March 2022 entry at 47,252 miles repeats on the same date as both a fail and a pass with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. Low overall mileage implies lighter use, though standing periods common to such cars can still permit corrosion or perished rubber components unseen in the clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity given the vehicle's twelve years. The MOT data shows no flagged brake discs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, yet DVSA tests at this age do not always capture incipient structural rust. Verify underbody condition and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking before purchase. Given the absence of advisories across five tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The repeated clean passes argue against skipped consumable upkeep, though wiper blades and tread depth fall outside this dataset. Treat the low mileage as a positive but confirm in person that light use has not masked damp-related degradation.
