2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · JE10 ELS

This Mazda 2 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 5 June 2025 at 88,872 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test two days prior on 3 June 2025, the absence of listed defects suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a significant mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,554 miles per year, which is low for a 2010 model. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent and light, increasing by 4,601 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. A larger jump occurred between December 2021 and December 2022, where the odometer rose by 9,501 miles. This pattern indicates the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often causes seals to perish or brakes to seize. The MOT history is unusually clean for a sixteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. This lack of data suggests a well-maintained car, but it also means the record provides no clues regarding typical age-related wear. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this era of Mazda that may not have been flagged if the car was kept in a dry environment. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the rubber components and tyres. Given the low annual mileage, the tyres may have sufficient tread but could be aged and perished. Checking the brake pedal feel and inspecting the calipers for any signs of sticking will confirm if the low usage has impacted the braking system.
