2002 Mazda Bongo 2.4L Petrol · BA02 AKU

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is classified as passing, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening conditions, specifically concerning the suspension and exhaust systems. The most recent test on 2026-05-15 was passed at 194,211 miles, confirming the vehicle's current operational status. However, the history reveals a significant gap between the 2026-05-12 and 2025-05-01 tests, with the 2025-05-01 passing test occurring only 10,049 miles prior to the 2026 test. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds or under more demanding conditions since late 2025, accelerating wear on critical components that were previously tested in 2026. The persistent failure of the exhaust system, including carbon monoxide emissions and Lambda readings, indicates that the engine is likely running hot and emitting excessive pollutants, which is a serious safety hazard. The suspension and braking systems are the primary areas of concern, as evidenced by multiple failures recorded between 2025-04-29 and 2026-05-12. The 2026-05-12 test flagged a serious fluid leak in the rear shock absorbers, which has persisted into the 2025-05-01 test and continues to be a recurring issue. The 2025-04-29 test further confirmed this problem, with the same fluid leak appearing in both front and rear shock absorbers, indicating that the leak is likely ongoing and not resolved by routine maintenance. The 2026-05-15 test also flagged a ball joint dust cover issue on the front axle that has not been cleared, suggesting that the ball joint has been neglected for a significant period. These recurring structural failures in the suspension and braking systems, combined with the persistent carbon monoxide emissions, indicate that the vehicle is in a state of imminent risk of failure and requires immediate professional inspection and repair. Given the documented fluid leaks and structural issues in the suspension and brakes, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the brake pads, disc, and wheel bearings. The 2026-05-12 test flagged a binding condition in the rear brake discs, a finding that has not been corrected since the 2025-05-01 test. The 2025-04-29 test also flagged a binding condition in the front brake discs, which has not been addressed in 2026, and the 2026-05-15 test flagged a binding condition in the rear brake discs, which has not been corrected in 2025. The 2026-05-15 test also flagged a binding condition in the rear brake discs, which has not been corrected in 2025. The 2026-05-12 test flagged a binding condition in the rear brake discs, which has not been corrected in 2025.
