2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · RX14 VSP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 29 January 2026 at 128,944 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the pattern of immediate failures followed by passes suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive maintenance. In both January 2025 and January 2026, the car failed the test just a few days before passing, indicating that specific defects were identified and rectified only when a formal inspection required them. At 128,944 miles over twelve years, the Mazda has averaged approximately 10,745 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent use, with a 15,456-mile interval between January 2024 and February 2025, and another 11,639 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and mechanical components associated with long periods of standing. While the recent records show no outstanding advisories or recurring mechanical failures, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and suspension. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as these are common weak points for vehicles of this age. Given the history of last-minute repairs, testing the suspension bushes for wear and checking the condition of the brake calipers and discs is essential to ensure no hidden wear exists beyond what was captured in the recent MOT tests.
