1995 Mazda Bongo 2.5L Diesel · M328 BNO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 27 October 2025 with 145,052 miles. While the history shows consistent passes, the presence of recorded failures on the same day as the 2023 and 2025 tests suggests intermittent mechanical compliance issues that were rectified immediately. The lack of advisories on the passing records indicates a vehicle that meets minimum standards despite its age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,679 miles per year. The data shows a significant deceleration in usage between November 2023 and October 2024, where the vehicle covered only 857 miles in a year. However, it gained 1,038 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the age of the rubber components and seals increases the risk of dry rot and fluid degradation during these long stationary periods. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and mounting points, as older Mazda vans are prone to hidden corrosion that MOT tests may not fully catch. Given the low mileage and long gaps between use, check for perished suspension bushes and seized brake calipers which often result from disuse. The recurring failures without listed defects suggest administrative anomalies or minor adjustments that warrant a thorough check of the exhaust system and emissions levels to ensure no underlying issues are lingering.
