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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 9,493 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a dangerous defect and a 2021 service gap, presents significant unquantifiable risks.
The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 9,493 miles over 14 years, with suspiciously low usage before Jan 2018 (19 mi/yr equivalent), raising serious odometer integrity concerns.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Tyre bulge (Apr 2024) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Front Brake lever insufficient reserve travel (Mar 2023) — critical safety system.
- Recurring suspension failures: Offside Front Suspension arm ball joint (Apr 2024, Aug 2025) — repeated structural wear.
- Recurring brake failures: Front Brake pads (Aug 2020, Feb 2022) — consistent wear pattern.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026 — current roadworthiness certificate.
- No mileage fraud detected — all readings are sequential, no decreases.
- No recurring emissions failures — only advisories noted.
- Consistent retest passes after failures — owner addressed issues promptly.
