2007 MAZDA 52.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the most recent inspection. The January 2022 test at 126,213 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor volatility where the vehicle failed two tests in quick succession in early 2020 and early 2021, though these were subsequently rectified to achieve passing results. The absence of advisories in the final recorded test suggests the vehicle was in a compliant state at the time of the last inspection. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,643 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 114,166 miles in January 2020 to 126,213 miles by January 2022. This gradual increase indicates regular, moderate usage rather than long periods of standing or heavy high-speed transit. The record is relatively sparse for the most recent four years, meaning there is a significant gap in documented testing between the 2022 pass and the current date of July 2026. A prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension components. While the MOT history does not explicitly flag corrosion or structural integrity issues, the age of the vehicle makes the chassis and subframes susceptible to rust. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts should be verified. The previous failures in 2020 and 2021 suggest that minor mechanical or consumable issues required attention to maintain compliance. You should check the current state of the braking system, specifically looking for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, and inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition. Because the last recorded MOT is over four years old, the vehicle requires a comprehensive mechanical assessment to ensure no significant degradation has occurred since the 2022 test.
