2008 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · EK58 AAZ

This Mazda 5 is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 1 April 2026 at 223,736 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass on 28 March 2025, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards despite its age. The mileage is high for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,430 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between February 2023 and January 2024, where the odometer climbed from 189,761 to 210,945 miles. This period of heavy use accounts for a large portion of the total wear. Since then, the mileage accumulation has slowed, with only 12,791 miles added over the last 18 months. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear appear in any of the entries dating back to February 2023. While this suggests a well-maintained car, it is statistically rare for a high-mileage Mazda of this era to be free of structural rust or suspension fatigue. A buyer should physically inspect the chassis and sills for hidden corrosion, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee the absence of surface rust. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of the brake discs and coil springs. Given the 223,736 mile total, these components are likely nearing the end of their natural service life regardless of the clean test history.
