MAZDA 22008 · 1.3L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 74,150 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the history shows failures on the same day as the passes in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 4,119 miles per year. Between 19 December 2023 and 16 December 2025, the odometer rose from 72,339 to 74,150 miles. This indicates the car has covered fewer than 2,000 miles annually over the last two years. Such low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus on components that degrade due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals, cracked suspension bushes, and potential seizing of brake calipers. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, but an 18 year old Mazda requires a physical inspection of the underbody and sills for surface rust. Verify the condition of the tyres and brake discs for flat spots or surface oxidation caused by long periods of standing. Since the MOT history is unusually clean and lacks common advisories for a car of this vintage, a manual check of the fluid levels and battery health is recommended to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond the minimum legal requirements.
