2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · LJ10 FPF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 100,668 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently cleared the testing requirements following initial failures. While the record shows two failures in April 2024 and April 2026, the immediate subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that the previous owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist across multiple testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 14,579 miles, while the subsequent period from April 2025 to 2026 saw 13,676 miles. This indicates regular, moderate use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps in maintaining the integrity of the drivetrain and rubber components. The lack of significant gaps between test intervals suggests the vehicle has been kept according to a standard annual inspection schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for a Mazda of this era. Given the clean sheets on the most recent passes, there is no immediate evidence of recurring mechanical failure, but the age of the vehicle warrants a close check for corrosion on the sills and exhaust system. The buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines to ensure that the faults which caused the 2024 and 2026 failures were related to simple consumable items or minor mechanical constraints that have since been addressed.
