2005 MAZDA BONGO2.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent test on March 22, 2025, at 171,556 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle transitioned from previous failures in 2022 and 2024 to consecutive passes with no recorded defects or advisories. This progression suggests that the previous owner proactively addressed necessary mechanical repairs to ensure the vehicle met legal standards. The recorded mileage of 171,556 miles over 21 years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,170 miles per annum, which aligns with typical demand for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with roughly 1,821 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and 3,761 miles between October 2022 and April 2024. These intervals indicate the vehicle has not been stationary for extended periods, which generally helps to prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Mazda Bongo models are prone to significant corrosion over time. While the most recent MOT records are clean, the failures in August 2022 and April 2024 indicate that components require periodic attention to pass the test. Close scrutiny of the suspension bushes, brake lines, and exhaust system is advised, as the high mileage and age increase the likelihood of these parts failing despite the recent clean test results.
