2009 Mazda 5 2.0L Diesel · LR09 GKL

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend despite its high mileage. The most recent MOT test on 14 May 2025 at 179,043 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to secure a passing certificate. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that the vehicle is currently meeting safety and environmental standards without outstanding mechanical degradation. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 179,043 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 10,532 miles. This aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The data shows consistent use between test intervals, with 12,330 miles covered between April 2023 and May 2024, and another 4,348 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025. This regular operation is generally beneficial for older vehicles as it prevents seal drying and brake-related corrosion that often occurs when cars sit for long idle periods. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the age and mileage of this Mazda 5 necessitate a physical inspection of common wear points. A buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, which frequently affects this model. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be evaluated for signs of excessive play or weeping. Additionally, checking for fluid leaks and the condition of the brake discs is advisable, as the MOT does not assess the remaining life of these components unless a immediate failure is present.
