2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FH14 BCK

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 20 June 2025 at 89,355 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner has successfully addressed prior mechanical issues. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the car is currently being maintained to a high operational standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,446 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 9,587 miles, which represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the 4,947 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady rate of use is beneficial for older components as it helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and the corrosion of braking components that often occurs during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures at 74,821 and 84,408 miles, although the exact failure reasons are not detailed in the provided summary. Given the age of the Mazda, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as these are common weak points for this model. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes for wear and check for binding brake calipers to ensure that the recent clean MOT results reflect genuine mechanical health rather than a temporary fix.
