1996 MAZDA 6262.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently non-roadworthy based on the available data, as the last recorded test on 14 March 2006 resulted in a comprehensive failure across multiple safety-critical systems. There are no recorded MOT entries for the subsequent twenty years, meaning it is impossible to verify the current mechanical condition or structural integrity of the car. The maintenance trend is non-existent, indicating the vehicle has not undergone professional regulatory testing for over two decades. The recorded mileage of 110,339 miles reflects an exceptionally low usage pattern, averaging approximately 3,678 miles per year over thirty years. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain, it also frequently correlates with the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues due to inactivity. The significant gap between the 2006 test and the present date suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which typically leads to seized calipers, perished seals, and internal engine corrosion. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the areas previously flagged. The 2006 failure highlighted a split nearside front CV joint gaiter and thin brake pads, indicating that basic preventative maintenance was neglected at that time. Given the age of the Mazda 626, the priority must be checking for structural rust in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, which are common on vehicles of this era regardless of mileage. The condition of the tyres and wiper blades should also be verified, as these were identified as failing points in the final recorded test.
