2010 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · SW59 FSC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on December 3 2025 at 117,631 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met passing standards following immediate re-tests. While the MOT history shows a pattern of initial failures followed by passes, these instances suggest that minor issues are being rectified promptly by the owner rather than indicating systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect. At 117,631 miles over sixteen years, the Mazda has averaged approximately 7,352 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage patterns, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles covered between each annual inspection. This regular interval suggests the car has been used steadily rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often benefits the condition of rubber seals and braking components. The lack of significant mileage spikes indicates a predictable wear rate across the drivetrain. Despite the clean records in the latest tests, a prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on the chassis and suspension components as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to structural corrosion. You should check the sills, wheel arches, and rear mounting points for signs of surface rust that has not yet reached a failure threshold. Given the mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, and examine the brake discs for signs of thinning or uneven wear. Since the MOT record does not list the specific reasons for the initial failures in November 2024 and December 2025, you should verify if these were simple consumable items like bulbs or wiper blades or more significant mechanical adjustments.
