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

This 2012 Mazda has 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 3,715 miles. While these were addressed, the recent DANGEROUS brake failure and numerous advisories indicate a car that requires careful inspection.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,045 miles per year, with a significant 14-year gap from 2013 to 2015 and a 3-year gap from 2016 to 2019.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure on 2023-08-01, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension arm advisories (2023) escalated to a MAJOR failure (2024).
  • Recurring tyre advisories (2019, 2022, 2023) suggest chronic wear issues.
  • Extremely low annual mileage (4,045 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle is a significant red flag.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-09, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the MOT record.
  • All past failures and advisories were promptly rectified and passed subsequent tests.
