2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · GF13 WSY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 78,635 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of failures immediately preceding successful tests. The car failed in February 2025 and February 2026, only to pass days later, which suggests that the previous owner addressed specific defects—such as bulbs, wipers, or minor mechanical adjustments—only when compelled by a test failure. At 78,635 miles over thirteen years, the Mazda 2 averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage for its age. The data shows consistent intervals, with 2,650 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 854 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. The sharp drop in mileage over the final year suggests the vehicle likely sat idle for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite low odometer readings. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures or serious mechanical issues, a buyer must verify the impact of the low-mileage, long-term standing. Focus on corrosion on the underside sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common weak points for this model. Given the recent failures, a physical check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes is necessary during an in-person inspection to ensure the vehicle remains reliable beyond the basic requirements of the test.
