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

This 2009 Mazda has 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 41,580 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,522 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 1-year gap (Aug 2019 to Aug 2020) where only 951 miles were recorded.

Things to check

  • 2018-08-28: Front number plate damaged (Aug 2018) — a minor but unaddressed cosmetic defect.
  • 2019-08-28: Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing both (Aug 2019) — a recurring tyre issue.
  • 2020-08-28: Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin (Aug 2020) — a recurring brake wear advisory.
  • 2022-08-30: Offside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2022) — a major suspension failure.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,522 miles/year, aligning with UK average.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering, only advisories.
