2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SC59 CKG

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and shows a rapidly worsening trend regarding structural integrity. The most recent test on June 4 2025 at 132,436 miles resulted in multiple failures related to severe corrosion. Specifically, the nearside front and rear outer sills have corroded to the point where the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced. This represents a critical decline from the 2020 test, where only slight corrosion and minor damage were noted. At 132,436 miles over roughly 16 years, the Mazda has averaged approximately 8,277 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for its age. However, the data reveals a significant gap in usage between August 2023 at 132,371 miles and June 2025 at 132,436 miles, with only 65 miles recorded over nearly two years. This period of inactivity likely suggests the vehicle sat stationary, which frequently precipitates the advanced structural rust and rubber degradation seen in the latest failure report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis to determine the full extent of the structural rot. The 2025 report flagged significant corrosion on the sills and the rear sub-frame, alongside excessive corrosion on brake pipes near the flexible sections. Immediate attention is also required for the nearside front CV boot, which is severely deteriorated and will lead to rapid joint failure if not replaced. The persistent oil leak from the corroded sump pan has appeared since 2020, indicating a long-term maintenance oversight that has never been addressed.
