Our Verdict
Approach this 2011 Mazda 5 with caution and budget for immediate brake and tyre work. The MOT history shows repeated safety-related failures, though it currently holds a valid pass certificate from September 2025.
Before buying, insist on seeing the paperwork for the September 2025 repairs that turned the failed MOT into a pass — specifically the rear tyre with exposed cords, parking brake efficiency, and rear brake pads under 1.5 mm. The 2024 failure also required front brake pads, an anti-roll bar ball joint, a worn front suspension arm ball joint, and a grabbing rear parking brake, so confirm those were properly addressed. A full service history would help confirm routine maintenance given the recurring brake wear seen at 51,370, 56,660, and 62,512 miles.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine in this Mazda 5 typically returns reasonable fuel economy for an MPV, though exact figures are not in the provided data. As a 2011 petrol vehicle, it will fall into a standard road tax band rather than the later emissions-based rates, and insurance should be moderate for a family people-carrier. Based on the repeated brake and tyre replacements in the MOT history, budget for above-average consumables; estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance are around £1,100-£1,400.
The MOT failures show a pattern of brake and tyre neglect: inspect all four tyres closely, especially the front inside edges noted as worn in 2025 and the previously exposed rear cord tyre. Check the parking brake holds efficiently on both rear wheels after the 2025 efficiency failure, and verify front and rear brake pad thickness given limits breached in 2024 and 2025. Also examine the front suspension arm ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages, as the 2024 failure flagged excessive wear and detachment risk on the offside front.
This blue 2011 petrol Mazda 5 (BP11WYL) has covered 62,512 miles over 14 years, which is modest for its age. The MOT record includes three failures between 2024 and 2025, mostly for brake and tyre faults, but the most recent test in September 2025 passed after corrective work. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mazda 5, so this assessment is based only on the individual history of BP11WYL.
