2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · LR64 FTP

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 with 96,289 miles and no defects recorded. This represents an improving trend compared to previous years where the car failed to meet the standard. The transition from failed tests to a clean sheet in the most recent 2025 inspections suggests that previously identified mechanical issues were addressed and rectified prior to the current date. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the car covered nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. However, the interval between the March 2025 test and June 2025 test shows only 1,901 miles covered in three months, indicating a recent period of lighter use. Such patterns can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion despite low overall mileage. While the most recent record is clean, the recurring failures in March 2024 and March 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical faults that require immediate attention. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the Mazda, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel mounting points is essential to ensure that the recent MOT passes are not masking underlying rust that may manifest in future tests.
