MAZDA MX-52018 · 1.5L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent test in July 2025 at 24,505 miles which passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows an improving trend, as the minor faults identified in previous years have clearly been addressed. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying advisories before they escalate into failures. At eight years old, the recorded 24,505 miles represent exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the record, with roughly 3,300 to 3,700 miles added between each annual test from 2021 to 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often exposes the vehicle to age-related degradation caused by time and inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should pay close attention to the rubber-based components based on the historical data. The July 2022 test at 14,378 miles flagged all four tyres for signs of cracking and perishing, a common issue for low-mileage cars that sit for long periods. Similarly, the 2024 test noted pitted rear brake discs and defective wiper blades. While these were cleared in 2025, a physical inspection must verify the current condition of the tyre compounds and the surface of the brake discs to ensure corrosion has not returned due to the low frequency of use.
