2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · GF13 PFA

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving maintenance trend following a mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 63,837 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This clean result follows a successful pass in 2025, suggesting the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle after earlier setbacks. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 12,662 miles, reflecting a pattern of low-intensity usage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts. The record confirms this through 2024 entries where tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking despite sufficient tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and rubber components due to the age-related wear observed. The 2024 failure highlighted an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, so the buyer must verify the integrity of the remaining joints, bushings, and steering linkages to ensure no play has developed. Additionally, the history of perishing tyres in 2023 and 2024 necessitates a close check of the tyre sidewalls for dry rot, as the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods.
