1998 MAZDA DEMIO1.3L Petrol

The Mazda Demio presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 23 February 2022 at 96,399 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 19 March 2021 test at 92,124 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical faults across the available record, and the maintenance picture is one of consistency rather than decline. Recorded mileage sits at 96,399 against a 1998 build, averaging roughly 3,443 miles per year. The data shows light use: 87,497 miles on 13 March 2020, 92,111 to 92,124 across March 2021, and 96,399 by February 2022. A gap exists between the last test in early 2022 and today's date in July 2026, leaving over four years unaccounted for. The sparse five-entry history contains no advisories, so wear on consumables and structure remains undocumented by the tester. The two failed tests on 12 March 2020 and 12 March 2021 list no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, coil spring, or corrosion problems appear in the record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and brake condition given the age and the long untested period since 2022. Low annual mileage and clean passes suggest gentle previous ownership, but standing time risks perished rubber components and seized calipers. Verify the actual odometer against the 2022 figure and confirm road tax and SORN status before purchase.
