2011 Mazda 5 1.6L Diesel · DC61 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available testing history. The most recent MOT test on October 31 2024 at 107,686 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying immediate failures to maintain legal compliance. The lack of recurring advisory notices across the last three successful passes indicates that the mechanical and structural components are currently in a functional condition for their age. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,686 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,179 miles. This aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle of this era. The data shows consistent progression, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between October 2022 and 2023, and approximately 8,700 miles between October 2023 and 2024. This regular usage is generally preferable to long periods of standing, which can lead to perished seals, fluid corrosion, and seized brake components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, as Mazda 5 models from this period are prone to internal corrosion that may not always trigger immediately. While the record is clean of advisories, the inspector should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show signs of wear around 100,000 miles. Given the clean results of the latest tests, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a thorough check for fluid leaks and brake pipe degradation remains necessary to confirm the state of the hidden components.
