This 2008 Mazda has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 30,872 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical areas warrants a thorough inspection.
Mileage is consistent, averaging 8,824 miles/year, with a notable spike of 17,950 miles in 2015-2016, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring brake failures (Feb 2012, Feb 2013) and advisories (Feb 2012) indicate chronic neglect.
- Recurring tyre failures (Feb 2017, Feb 2018) and advisories (Mar 2016) show a pattern of poor maintenance.
- Recurring suspension/steering failures (Feb 2017, Feb 2018) and advisories (Mar 2016) point to systemic issues.
- The vehicle has been on SORN since 2019, suggesting it has not been used or maintained for years.
Working in its favour
- Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,824 miles/year, indicating regular use.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed retests, showing immediate owner action.
- The vehicle has a long, consistent MOT history since its first test in 2011.
