2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · YM14 XEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 11 June 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred maintenance regarding wear components. While the most recent test was successful, the car failed just six days prior at 57,695 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. The recurring presence of worn suspension arm bushes and thinning front brake components across multiple years suggests that the owner typically addresses mechanical faults only when they trigger an MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,751 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between June 2025 and June 2026. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2024 advisory regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre and the persistent issues with suspension bushes which can dry out due to age and inactivity rather than high-distance travel. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as bushes have been flagged as worn in every recorded test since 2023. The tester also noted worn front brake discs in both 2025 and 2026, indicating these components are nearing the end of their functional life and likely require imminent replacement. Given the 2024 advisory for a corroded front lower oil sump, a physical check of the undercarriage for active oil leaks or advanced structural corrosion is essential to ensure the low-mileage status has not allowed to become a structural risk.
