MAZDA 62012 · 1.8L Petrol

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 August 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of noted faults during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 inspections suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, recording only 49,053 miles over 14 years. This averages roughly 3,504 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the odometer moved from 46,070 to 49,053 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of light usage. Such low mileage reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and engine components but often indicates the car has spent significant time stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by inactivity rather than wear. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres. Check for signs of corrosion on the underbody and suspension arms, as lack of use can allow moisture to settle and rust to develop. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the battery has been maintained. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A manual check of the service history is necessary to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes occurred regardless of the low annual mileage.
