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

This 2008 Mazda has 23 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 25,169 miles. The recurring nature of critical systems like brakes and emissions, combined with a 25,000-mile history over 18 years, presents significant unquantifiable risks.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 6,117 miles/year, with a 25,169-mile reading in 2011 and only 109,164 miles by October 2025, suggesting long periods of inactivity or very light use.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Rear Brake hose leaking on 2023-10-04 (MAJOR failure 2023-10-04).
  • Recurring Emissions failures: 2 major failures (2023-10-04, 2025-10-03) and 6 related advisories.
  • Recurring Brake system failures: 2 DANGEROUS defects (2023-10-04, 2024-10-04) and 3 advisories.
  • Recurring Suspension failures: 1 major failure (2024-10-04) and 1 advisory (2023-11-01).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-03, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No mileage anomalies or fraud detected in the MOT history.
  • Consistent annual mileage of ~6,000 miles, suggesting light use.
