2011 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · EA61 ADU

The 2011 Mazda 5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 19 July 2025 at 152,439 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The preceding annual tests in July 2024 at 144,307 miles and July 2023 at 135,845 miles also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the last three years of official inspection. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,163 miles per year against the 152,439 recorded. The odometer advanced from 125,270 miles at the 16 July 2022 test to 135,845 by July 2023, then 144,307 in July 2024 and 152,439 in July 2025, showing consistent yearly use of around 8,000 to 9,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry logged on 19 July 2023 at 135,845 miles that carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a fault-based failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 152,000-mile accumulation, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm the remaining service life of consumable components. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant physical examination, particularly around sills and suspension mountings where a 2011 Mazda 5 may show age-related rust not yet severe enough to trigger a test failure. The absence of recurring advisories across five tests implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the clean record offers no insight into interim servicing of timing components or transmission wear. Pre-purchase checks should prioritise tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions under load, and binding calipers, none of which the MOT data shows as historically problematic but all of which degrade silently between annual tests.
