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

This 2006 Mazda has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 31,017 miles. The complete absence of recent MOT history and the vehicle's age present significant risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 31,017 miles over 20 years, averaging 7,368 miles per year, which is consistent with its registration date.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2020-02-26, indicating no current MOT.
  • Vehicle is 'Untaxed' as per DVLA data, suggesting it has not been legally used recently.
  • First MOT test was in 2009 (13 years after registration), far beyond the 3-year window for new cars.
  • No recent MOT history available; the last test was in 2012, a critical red flag for a 20-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No recorded MOT failures or dangerous defects across its entire history.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage averaging 7,368 miles per year.
