2012 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · VK12 AEX

The vehicle currently maintains a high roadworthiness status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 113,554 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car meets all current safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed potential mechanical issues before they could escalate into failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 17,804 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 5,900 miles annually. The brief failure in March 2024 at 102,298 miles, followed by a pass just ten days later at 102,324 miles, indicates a minor, rectified defect that was corrected immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension, as these are common points of wear for a Mazda 5 of this era. While the MOT record shows no recent defects, the vehicle's age necessitates a close look for corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and trailing arms. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake discs to ensure that the mechanical components are not nearing the end of their functional life despite the clean test history.
