2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · FN13 RLU

The 2013 Mazda 2 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 29,863 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from November 2021 through to 2025. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 27,882 miles in November 2021 rising only to 29,863 miles by November 2025, an accumulation of just 1,981 miles across four years or roughly 495 miles per year. Annual increments stay under 600 miles throughout, with the largest single jump being 621 miles between the November 2022 and November 2023 tests at 28,282 and 28,997 miles respectively. No gaps or lapses appear in the testing history. A clean advisory sheet across all five tests means the DVSA record flags no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity concerns for this car. The low standing mileage does, however, carry hidden risks that a buyer must verify in person. Long idle periods promote tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and seized brake calipers that a static test may not expose. Inspect the underbody for surface rust on subframes and check the exhaust system for internal rot not yet visible to testers. Confirm the timing chain tension and coolant condition given the infrequent running. The documented history implies a cautious, low-mileage owner who kept the car legally compliant, yet physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
