2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SD10 SZZ

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of instability in mid-2024. The most recent test on 4 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which follows a clean pass on 26 July 2024. This recent history contrasts with the two failures recorded between 8 July 2024 and 23 July 2024, though the specific mechanical causes for those failures were not documented in the provided record. The recorded mileage of 102,017 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 6,376 miles over the vehicle's sixteen-year lifespan. This pattern represents typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT intervals appear consistent, with tests occurring annually between July 2023 and July 2025, indicating regular regulatory compliance. Because the 2024 failures do not specify the exact components that caused the test rejections, a physical inspection is necessary to identify potential recurring issues. A buyer should focus on checking the condition of the braking system, including discs and pads, to ensure no binding issues persist. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough examination of the underside for structural corrosion, suspension bushes, and coil springs is also required. The absence of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the issues identified during the 2024 failures were addressed. However, the lack of detail regarding those specific defects means the buyer cannot confirm if the repairs were comprehensive or merely temporary fixes for consumable wear. Checking the exhaust system and tyre tread depths during a viewing would provide further clarity on the current state of these components.
