AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2012 Mazda has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 17,186 miles. The recent high number of windscreen-related failures and persistent tyre advisories warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual mileage of 3,387 miles/year, averaging only 2,800 miles/year since 2018, which is a significant red flag for potential long-term inactivity.

Things to check

  • Recurring tyre advis

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the next three years.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects are present in the MOT history.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage suggests a car that has been lightly used and may have less wear and tear.
