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

This 2008 Mazda has 24 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 18,269 miles. The most recent MOT in Feb 2026 shows a significant mileage anomaly, indicating potential odometer fraud.

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-26 shows 115,373 miles, but this is a 3.5× increase from the 22,988 miles recorded on 2012-04-17, strongly suggesting odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Apr 2019) — immediate safety risk.
  • Recurring MAJOR failures: Windscreen (Apr 2022), Lights (Apr 2023), and Brakes (Apr 2023) — systemic neglect.
  • Recurring ADVISORIES: Coil Spring (Apr 2023, Apr 2024, Apr 2025), Anti-Roll Bar Link (Apr 2023, Apr 2024), and Sill (Feb 2026) — chronic wear.
  • Unusually high mileage jump: 21,942 mi/yr equivalent before Feb 2026 (3.5× this car's average) — strong odometer fraud indicator.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-02-26, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
  • Consistent annual mileage for the first 12 years (2011-2023), suggesting regular use.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025) — excellent safety credentials for its age.
