This 2013 Mazda has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 19,243 miles. The recent advisory on tyres is a clear warning of imminent costs.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,833 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers, indicating genuine light usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Aug 2024): Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • Dangerous Nearside Front Tyre defect on 2018-08-13, immediately rectified.
  • Dangerous Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessive play on 2017-08-05, immediately rectified.
  • Recurring tyre advisories and failures across 6 tests (2018, 2019, 2022) indicate chronic wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-24, offering peace of mind for the next two years.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (5,833 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
