MAZDA 32012 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 23 February 2026 at 36,146 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing, as the car failed on that same day due to an ineffective front windscreen wiper. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the preceding history indicates that the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold or are flagged during the annual inspection. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 36,146 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,582 miles per year. This low usage profile is consistent with the physical degradation noted in rubber-based components throughout the record. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,031 miles. While this reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the perishation of tyres and rubber boots, which is clearly evident in the MOT data provided here. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry and tyre condition. The MOT history flagged recurring issues with the offside front track rod end and suspension arm ball joint dust covers in both 2024 and 2025. These split boots allow moisture to enter the joints, which will lead to premature failure if not replaced. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of cracking and perishing on the tyres in 2024 and 2025 suggest the rubber compound is age-hardened rather than tread-wear limited. The buyer should check for sidewall cracking and ensure all tyres are relatively fresh despite the low mileage.
