2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SM10 ACO

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 14 March 2025 at 101,551 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three days prior. This suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical issues to ensure compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates a vehicle that has been kept in good mechanical order regarding its primary safety components. At 16 years old, the 2010 Mazda 2 has covered approximately 6,347 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical light usage for a car of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent annual growth, with 6,241 miles recorded between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 6,422 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025. This steady pattern reduces the likelihood of stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the low annual mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Mazdas are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest until significant. While the MOT record is clean, the failures in March 2023 and 2025 indicate that minor components such as bulbs, wipers, or minor fluid leaks require attention immediately before a test date. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brittleness regardless of the distance driven.
