2010 Mazda Biante 2.0L Petrol · FJ60 VAM

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 96,976 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-20 at 96,973 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, which raises questions about the testing process or potential technical anomalies. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2025 also passed without issues, suggesting the car has maintained roadworthiness over the past two years. The lack of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the record implies consistent upkeep, though the abrupt failure without recorded defects warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 96,976 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 6,061 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Tests spaced 12 months apart show gradual, predictable mileage increases, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity. The 2024-01-24 test at 91,882 miles and the 2025-01-14 test at 93,996 miles reflect steady usage, while the 2026-01-21 pass confirms no significant deterioration in key systems. The MOT history lacks gaps or irregularities, suggesting the vehicle has been regularly maintained without major interventions. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear, as these are common wear points. Structural corrosion, particularly in body seams or underbody panels, should also be checked, as it can develop over time. While the MOT record shows no active defects, the 2026 failure without recorded issues highlights the importance of a hands-on inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
