1994 Mazda Eunos 1.8L Petrol · M788 EAH

This Mazda Eunos has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, with no recurring defects or advisories in the most recent MOT tests. The vehicle passed its final inspection on 13 March 2026 at 81,306 miles, though an unusual dual-entry on the same date—one pass and one fail—suggests a possible administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The previous test, on 11 March 2025 at 77,296 miles, also recorded no faults, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear, particularly in components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes or drivetrain joints. The recorded mileage of 81,306 miles at 32 years old reflects an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 2,541 miles, which may imply prolonged periods of disuse or storage. The gap between tests—just under a year—is standard, but the minimal mileage accumulation between 11 March 2025 (77,296 miles) and 13 March 2026 (81,306 miles) suggests the vehicle was not actively driven during this period. While low mileage can reduce wear on high-stress parts, it also raises concerns about fluid degradation (brakes, power steering, transmission) and potential corrosion from moisture exposure if stored unsheltered. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension geometry, given the vehicle’s age. Check for excessive play in steering and suspension joints, as well as the condition of coil springs and bushes, which may have deteriorated even with low mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny—look for uneven wear on discs or pads, and test for binding calipers or seized wheel bearings. Structural integrity is another critical area; inspect the chassis for rust penetration, especially around wheel arches and sills, and verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion-induced sagging. Given the lack of advisories, no major repairs are documented, but a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical issues.
