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

This 2013 Mazda has 14 MOT tests on record with a 64% pass rate and 128,093 miles. The vehicle's high usage and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.

The vehicle shows high annual usage (19,727 miles/yr) with a significant drop in recent years (e.g., 2 miles between May 2022 and May 2023), suggesting a change in usage or potential odometer anomalies.

Things to check

  • High mileage (224k miles) for a 2013 car indicates significant wear and tear.
  • Recurring suspension failures (ball joint, shock absorber) and tyre issues (exposed ply) point to ongoing maintenance needs.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2023, suggesting it may not have been in regular use.
  • The May 2024 MOT advisory for exhaust wear is a clear indicator of an upcoming repair requirement.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2025, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No major structural corrosion or dangerous defects have been consistently flagged in the MOT history.
  • The high mileage suggests the car has been regularly used, potentially reducing some common age-related issues.
