2006 Mazda Bongo 2.0L Petrol · FT06 VGG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 93,115 miles saw the Mazda pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a significant improvement over the single failure in November 2022 at 76,421 miles, indicating that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs and has maintained the vehicle to a high standard since. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 4,656 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 12,125 miles, showing a consistent and low-usage habit compared to the typical UK average of 7,000+ miles per annum. While low mileage generally suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the age of the vehicle implies periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown regardless of distance traveled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older Mazda vans are prone to corrosion even with low mileage. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system for signs of advanced rust that the MOT might not have flagged. Given the low annual usage, verify the condition of the brake calipers for seizing and check the age of the tyres, as age-related cracking often occurs before the tread reaches the legal limit, despite an otherwise clean mechanical history.
