2015 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · EK15 DHU

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-13 shows a pass for the 2015 Mazda 5 at 64,310 miles, but a failure for the offside front position lamp (4.2.1 (a) (ii)). This indicates a minor electrical issue that was not resolved at the time of the test. The prior MOT on 2024-06-17 revealed multiple serious defects, including both front tyres with tread below 1.6mm, a tyre with exposed ply/cords, and front brake pads less than 1.5mm thick. These issues suggest significant wear on critical safety components. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre and brake wear , with failures in 2024 and 2023. In 2023, thin brake pads and suspension bush wear were noted, while 2024 highlighted severe tyre degradation and a faulty airbag warning light. The 2025 pass suggests repairs were made, but the unresolved position lamp defect implies ongoing electrical or maintenance concerns. The trend shows improvement in some areas, as the 2025 test had no major safety issues, but the persistence of minor faults (e.g., lamp failure) indicates inconsistent maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 64,310 miles over 11 years equates to ~5,846 miles annually, which is low for its age . This could reflect light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may affect components like tyres (risk of dry rot) and brakes (corrosion or uneven wear).
