2002 Mazda Bongo 2.0L Petrol · GR52 AAE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 204,403 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows two failures, both were rectified immediately, as evidenced by the passes occurring just two miles later. The lack of advisories in the last three tests suggests that the current owner maintains the vehicle to a standard that meets immediate regulatory requirements despite the high mileage of the platform. The recorded mileage of 204,403 miles over 13 years indicates a high-use profile, averaging approximately 15,700 miles per annum. The data shows consistent accumulation, with roughly 8,600 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024, and another 8,425 miles between September 2024 and 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been used for commercial or daily transit rather than sitting idle, which often protects internal components from the moisture-related degradation common in stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to such high-mileage stress. Given the age and distance, the structural integrity of the chassis requires close scrutiny, specifically looking for corrosion on the sills and floor pans. The suspension system should be checked for worn bushes and perished shock absorbers, as these typically reach the end of service life at this interval. While the MOT record is clean, a mechanical check for binding brake calipers or thinning brake discs remains necessary to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in accelerated hardware wear.
