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

This 2005 Mazda has 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 18,275 miles. The vehicle's age and unexplained low usage make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows no recorded mileage from 2005 to 2018, then only 50,399 miles by Sep 2018, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 63 miles in 2023) that is highly irregular for a 21-year-old car.

Things to check

  • No recorded mileage from 2005 to 2018 — a critical 13-year data gap.
  • Major brake failure on 2022-10-28, followed by a retest PASS on 2022-11-01 — indicates a serious safety issue.
  • Recurring exhaust leak advisory on 2019-10-01, escalating to major failure on 2023-11-01 — persistent and costly.
  • Very low annual mileage (e.g., 63 miles in 2023) for a 21-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-14, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories since 2025-07-14, suggesting current maintenance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT and is taxed, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
