AI verdict AVOID 46/100

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

This 2006 Mazda has 25 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 50,152 miles. The vehicle's structural integrity and safety are highly compromised, making it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage (4,671 miles/yr), with a significant 2022 service gap and highly irregular usage patterns that are highly suspicious for a 20-year-old car.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting excessively corroded (Apr 2024).
  • 5 MOT failures across 12 tests (Apr 2019–Apr 2026) indicates chronic neglect.
  • Recurring corrosion on subframe, suspension arms, and sills (Apr 2024) signals structural decay.
  • Brake disc advisories (Apr 2019) and tyre advisories (Apr 2019) show no resolution.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • MOT valid until April 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since the last pass in April 2026.
  • Consistent mileage readings (though low) suggest no odometer fraud.
