2010 MAZDA 62.2L Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 at 208,241 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the 2025-06-13 entry shows conflicting results—both a PASS and a FAIL recorded on the same date, which may reflect administrative error or multiple tests. Prior MOTs from 2024 and 2023 also showed no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend in the past three years. The absence of structural or safety-critical issues in recent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The recorded mileage of 208,241 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 13,015 miles annually, which is above the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Notable gaps exist between tests, with the 2023-06-23 MOT (173,969 miles) followed by a 2024-06-15 test (190,944 miles), a 16,975-mile increase over 12 months. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 show slower mileage accumulation, suggesting reduced usage or longer intervals between inspections. The high annual mileage raises concerns about accelerated wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems, even if no defects were flagged recently. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension, focusing on worn bushes or coil springs, and check for corrosion in the exhaust system, which is common in older vehicles. The conflicting MOT records from 2025 warrant verification to ensure accuracy, as discrepancies may indicate overlooked issues. While no critical faults were recorded in the latest test, the vehicle’s high mileage and historical usage patterns suggest potential hidden wear in drivetrain components. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise brake function, tyre condition, and structural integrity to confirm the MOT data aligns with the vehicle’s actual state.
