This 2008 Mazda has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 14,172 miles. The MOT record itself is highly suspicious, with a 2011-07-16 failure that is completely absent from the provided MOT history.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY CRITICAL ANOMALY: The 2011-07-16 failure is completely absent from the provided MOT history.
  • MILEAGE FRAUD INDICATORS: Mileage dropped to 89 miles/year (Apr 2021) and 306 miles/year (May 2023), highly suspicious for a 2008 vehicle.
  • MILEAGE DISCREPANCY: Recorded 14,172 miles in 2011, then 27,611 miles in 2020, indicating a 13-year gap with no recorded mileage.
  • MILEAGE vs UK AVERAGE: Very low usage averaging 1,899 miles/yr, far below the 8,000 miles/yr UK average, suggesting unreported mileage or limited use.
