Our Verdict
This Mazda 2 is a solid, well-maintained supermini with a clear history of responsible ownership. While the front brake discs will need attention soon, the car's consistent MOT record makes it a highly sensible purchase.
When viewing the car, pay close attention to the front brake discs, which have been flagged as worn for several years. While they have consistently passed, you should factor in the cost of a replacement set of discs and pads into your offer price. Check the service history to see if the brake fluid has been changed recently, as this is often overlooked on older, low-mileage vehicles.
Test drive the car specifically to listen for any knocking from the front suspension, as the offside ball joint was replaced in 2024. Ensure the car tracks straight on the road, as the history shows a recurring tendency for uneven tyre wear, suggesting that a professional wheel alignment check would be a wise investment shortly after purchase.
The 1.3L petrol engine is generally economical and well-suited to the Mazda 2's lightweight chassis, making it affordable to run for most drivers. Insurance groups for this model are typically low, which should keep premiums reasonable even for younger or less experienced drivers.
Tax and maintenance costs are manageable for this age of vehicle. You can expect annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, and routine servicing, to sit in the region of £1,100–£1,300 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. The MOT history highlights a recurring advisory regarding the front brake discs; check the thickness of the discs and look for deep scoring or significant corrosion on the inner faces. Additionally, inspect the front tyres for signs of inner-edge wear, which has been a recurring theme in the vehicle's history.
Check all electrical functions, including the windscreen wipers, which have previously failed an MOT. Ensure the wiper blades are fresh and that the washer jets are clear. Finally, perform a standard walk-around to check for any bodywork damage, as the blue paintwork should be checked for consistent colour and signs of previous accident repairs.
At 12 years old and with just 57,359 miles on the clock, this blue Mazda 2 represents a reliable choice for city driving or commuting. The MOT history is largely clean, with only minor wear-and-tear items appearing over the last seven years. It is a low-mileage example that has been kept roadworthy and compliant throughout its life.
The Mazda 2 is widely regarded as a dependable supermini with a robust mechanical platform, and this specific example supports that reputation with a clean history of passing tests.
