2014 Mazda 2 1.3L Petrol · YS63 YLB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection on 18 December 2025 at 37,444 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This reflects a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last four years, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets all DVSA safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,120 miles per year. Between January 2022 and December 2024, the car covered only 6,732 miles, indicating short-distance trips or significant periods of storage. The gap between the January 2023 and December 2023 tests shows a slight increase in activity, yet the overall remains consistent. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of component perish where rubber parts failing due to age rather than friction. Despite the clean test records, a buyer must inspect for specific issues common to low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. Check for dry cracking in the tyres, suspension bushes, and perished wiper blades, which often degrade over time regardless of distance. The brake system should be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to rust pitting on the discs. A physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust on the sills is necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden environmental damage to the Mazda's frame.
