2011 Mazda 5 Sport 2.0L Other · DRZ 5951

The maintenance trend is stable and highly positive, culminating in a clean pass on 18 April 2025 at 76,729 miles. The vehicle presents a consistently roadworthy condition across its recorded history, with no defects noted in the majority of its recent tests. However, an anomalous failure occurred just three days prior on 15 April 2025 at 76,694 miles, where the tester recorded no specific defects. This suggests the car was either refused a test due to an obvious fluid leak or structural issue preventing inspection, or the test was abandoned before a full assessment could be completed. The subsequent clean pass three days later indicates the issue was rectified promptly, pointing to a responsive owner rather than a chronic mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation aligns with light usage, averaging roughly 5,115 miles per year over its fifteen-year lifespan. Between the March 2022 test at 64,192 miles and the March 2023 test at 68,621 miles, the car covered 4,429 miles. The following year, up to the April 2024 test at 72,937 miles, it accumulated 4,316 miles. The most recent twelve-month interval shows a slight decrease, with the odometer moving from 72,937 miles in April 2024 to 76,694 miles in April 2025, covering 3,757 miles. The data is clean and consistent, showing no sudden spikes or suspicious mileage drops that might indicate tampering or prolonged inactivity. Despite the pristine MOT record, the anomalous failure in April 2025 warrants a physical inspection of the undercarriage and engine bay. A prospective buyer should look for signs of fresh repairs, particularly around fluid reservoirs, brake lines, or the exhaust system, to verify what caused the initial test refusal. Given the low annual mileage, the suspension components, including coil springs and suspension bushes, may suffer from age-related deterioration rather than wear. A thorough check for perished rubber and corrosion on the chassis and brake discs is essential, as vehicles covering short distances often develop surface rust that can bind calipers or compromise structural integrity over time.
