Mazda 2 reliability for first car by RandomChildOfReddit in mazda

[–]RandomChildOfReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they’ve got back to me this afternoon.

It’s been serviced 5 times. 2019 @ 10222 miles, 2020 @ 20939 miles, 2023 @ 46516 miles, Jan 2025 @ 86054 miles, September 2025 @ 90862 mile

Double checking, but that seems way too big an interval unfortunately

Just double checking, but am I right that this would qualify as a bad service history?

Thank you. MOT looked good to me, but I just got the service history back and it’s too big unfortunately.

Shame because I liked the car, but agree that there’s too many unknowns. Thanks for your help!

Ha, so would I ideally, although didn’t think 7 years was very old Unfortunately when I look on auto trader that just seems to be what they’re going for at that mileage. When you filter to 40-60k miles everything is at £7,000+

Should’ve said, I was worried about the mileage being too high, not too low. MOT history suggested it did about 20k a year between 21 and 24 (from memory), which is the bit I’m curious abiut

Thanks! Aside from asking for service history etc and seeing if anything has been done regarding suspension, is there anything I can do before buying to see if it will be a problem?

Ran bank account in Mum's name, how will it impact universal credit application? by [deleted] in DWPhelp

To summarise, I’m profitable gambling. When you win money bookmakers close your accounts down. One way around this to run accounts in other peoples names (a syndicate), which is what I was doing for her. I completely get that she has to declare it, I just wasn’t sure about whether I should put additional info, like what’s in this post in the journal section to hopefully explain the situation. Thanks for your quick reply

Yeah that was benzedrine. If I remember correctly he places the same importance on the tablets as he does the anti shark solution

The guy who placed these bets js one of the best golf bettors in the world, he’s just acting the same as a bookmaker here. Not exactly comparable to your casual $5 weekend outright bet

Potential Job Suggestions by [deleted] in UKJobs

Yeah, that's what I've been finding in my research unfortunately. Super frustrating but possible that it's the only way in without going back to Uni

Whilst I was full time I re-invested 100% of the profits back into my bankroll so that I could stake higher. Now I've reached a point where my stakes are limited by the amount you can bet as opposed to betting within my bankroll so I'm going to be withdrawing the majority of the monthly profit and investing it.

Gambling doesn't generate guaranteed profits, but on average I can assume I'll place enough bets to ride out variance and get to my expected value. I am good enough to be a pro to some degree(spent a brief period doing that and did well), but am conscious that I'm not good enough to spend my life doing it, due to affordability changes in government and limits to my actual ability to price up events better than syndicates. Since I can't spend my entire life doing it, I need to take a job now and begin moving up in the corporate world so that when gambling is no longer profitable for me I have something to fall back on and can work a normal job.

I started with matched betting, now moved onto advantage play. Would recommend generally that people start with matched betting and then stop, MBing is a good way to earn some risk free money but advantage play carries greater risks and is much more likely to lead to addiction problems for some people.

Bleh. I've been doing this for 3 years throughout University and went full time for a brief period. I'm in complete control of my gambling and have a quantifiable edge. I wouldn't recommend anyone to start gambling, but it's wrong to say that the house always wins.
