2010 Mazda 2 1.5L Petrol · VE10 EHD

The latest MOT on 20 February 2026 at 92,431 miles passed with no defects, showing a stable maintenance record. The vehicle is 16 years old and has covered 92,431 miles, averaging about 5,800 miles per year, which is low for its age. The interval from the 2024 test at 82,925 miles to the 2025 test at 87,736 miles shows an increase of 4,811 miles in one year, followed by a further 4,695 miles to the 2026 test, confirming a steady, low‑usage pattern. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, as these components often show early signs of deterioration even when the MOT records appear clean. The structural integrity should also be checked for rust around the wheel arches and sills, since age can bring corrosion that is not always captured in the test. Given the vehicle’s age, the buyer should also assess tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and look for any signs of structural corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, since low mileage does not guarantee the absence of age‑related degradation.
