This 2004 Mazda has 26 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 30,036 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2025-11-14, which is a critical red flag.

Things to check

  • Major engine/oil failure on 2019-11-12, pointing to a long-standing and unresolved mechanical issue.

  • Major suspension/steering failures on 2019-11-12 and 2023-11-10, indicating chronic and unresolved wear.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,424 miles per year, aligning with typical UK usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate, albeit not currently in force, which is a positive sign for its past roadworthiness.
