2020 Mazda Bongo Friendee 2.0L Petrol · BC06 OZD

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, despite signs of minor wear beginning to emerge. The most recent test on December 10 2025 at 194,512 miles passed with only minor defects related to clouded headlamp lenses. This represents a slight improvement in the overall mechanical condition compared to the previous year, where suspension-related issues were identified, suggesting that the owner is addressing developing faults before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent and averages approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twenty-year-old vehicle. Between April 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 47,105 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or erratic bursts. The interval of 11,431 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests indicates regular operation, which generally facilitates better monitoring of high-mileage components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension, as the December 2024 test flagged worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both sides. While these did not cause a failure at that time, they are rubber components prone to degradation under age and mileage. Given the vehicle's age and nearly two hundred thousand miles recorded, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the metalwork. The recurring headlamp lens defects across the last two tests are purely cosmetic or related to light output and indicate the plastic housings are oxidizing over time.
