2013 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · WV63 OFZ

The vehicle's recent MOT history indicates a stable roadworthiness status, with the most recent test on 20 August 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding these passes in 2024 and 2025, the lack of specific defect descriptions suggests these may have been minor failures or administrative retests rather than a trend of worsening mechanical degradation. The absence of advisories in the most recent entries suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, with only 19,222 miles recorded as of August 2025. This equates to an average of roughly 1,479 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK average. The data shows a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of mileage, moving from 15,629 miles in September 2023 to 16,514 miles in September 2024, and finally reaching 19,222 miles by August 2025. This pattern suggests the car has seen very light use over the last three years. Because the vehicle has spent much of its life covering very short distances, a buyer should focus on components affected by infrequent use rather than high-mileage wear. Low-use vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers, perished rubber suspension bushes, and degradation of various fluid types. I recommend a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a check of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as low mileage does not prevent rubber degradation. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension issues in the MOT history is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, the buyer should still verify the condition of the underside to ensure that long periods of standing have not allowed moisture to build up in the chassis or exhaust system. Checking the battery health and the condition of all drive belts is also advised, as these components often fail due to age and inactivity rather than mileage.
