MAZDA EUNOS1993 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a history of resolving minor peripheral faults. The most recent MOT test on 25 May 2022 at 160,820 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating an improvement over the previous year's performance. While the 2020 failure highlighted basic issues with lighting and fluid systems, the subsequent clean passes in the last two tests suggest the owner has addressed immediate mechanical requirements to maintain legal compliance. At 33 years old, the recorded mileage of 160,820 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,873 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage between 2019 and 2022, with only 5,815 miles covered between the August 2019 and May 2022 tests. However, such low annual mileage on a vehicle of this age often masks the degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, hoses, and seals, which can perish from age and oxidation rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity, specifically focusing on the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans, as Japanese cars from this era are prone to deep structural corrosion. The 2021 advisory noted both front tyres worn on the edge, which may indicate a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that requires attention. Given that the last MOT was conducted over four years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for testing, and a comprehensive check of brake lines, fluid freshness, and tyre age is essential to ensure the car has not deteriorated during the extended period between tests.
