2011 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · K7 TGD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following its most recent test on 6 July 2026 at 76,553 miles. While the car passed, the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with tyre condition. The offside rear tyre was flagged for a cut in July 2025 and remains an advisory in the 2026 test. Although the cut does not reach the cords, the repeated mention of tyre damage suggests a pattern of neglecting minor consumable replacements. The vehicle has covered 76,553 miles over its 15-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. This represents low annual usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The mileage progression appears consistent across the recorded tests, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles covered between each annual inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used for regular, short-distance trips rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems. The July 2025 failure at 72,090 miles identified an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and pitted front brake discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, these mechanical components require a physical inspection to ensure the bush has been replaced and the discs are not excessively thin or corroded. The history of tyre cuts across multiple axles, including the 2024 failure at 67,176 miles, also indicates a need to check the overall quality and age of all four tyres.
