MAZDA DEMIO2008 · 1.3L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 57,511 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior. This indicates that any mechanical issues identified during the initial inspection were rectified immediately before the successful retest. The record across the last two years suggests that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a sufficient operational standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the car covered only 3,057 miles, moving from 54,454 to 57,511 miles. This low usage typically reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain, however, such long periods of standing or short trips can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the seizing of brake components which are not always reflected in the mileage figure alone. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, as older Mazda vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion regardless of miles driven. While the MOT history shows no current defects, the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 suggest that specific components require frequent attention to pass the test. Focus the inspection on the suspension bushes, exhaust system, and brake caliper seals, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished seals or surface rust due to inactivity rather than mechanical wear.
