2014 Mazda 5 1.6L Diesel · GX14 TYU

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, showing a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 54,280 miles resulted in a pass with zero advisories. This clean sheet extends across the previous four tests back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met safety and environmental standards without suffering from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 13,249 miles, moving from 41,031 to 54,280 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has experienced minimal wear on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to average market examples. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues with rubber components or fluid breakdown, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to age-related failure despite mileage. A buyer should check for signs of corrosion on the brake lines and rear suspension mounting, as these areas can deteriorate even on cars driven infrequently. It is also prudent to inspect the tyres for dry cracking or flat spotting, as low mileage often masks rubber aging that exceeds tread depth. Given the age, the brake discs should be checked for surface pitting to ensure they have not seized due to inactivity.
