2002 Mazda Bongo Friendee 2.5L Petrol · ME02 YTA

The most recent MOT, carried out on 22 January 2026, was passed with no defects recorded at 147,848 mi. This mirrors the previous four MOTs (2025‑2022), each of which also passed with no recorded issues. The pattern is therefore completely clean – there are no recurring defects or advisories to note. Because every test shows a “pass” and there are no logged defects, the condition trend appears stable rather than worsening. There is no evidence of a deteriorating component or a growing safety concern over the last five years. At 24 years old the vehicle has logged 147,848 mi, which works out to roughly 6,160 mi per year. That mileage is within the normal range for a vehicle of this age. It does not point to excessive hard‑use, but it also does not guarantee that every wear item is fresh – components such as suspension bushings, brake pads and timing belts may still be approaching the end of their service lives simply because they age as well as run. Given the clean MOT record, the key risk for a buyer is not a hidden defect but the usual wear items that are not captured by an MOT unless they are already failing. The most important checks at a viewing are: Inspect the brakes – pad thickness, disc condition and any uneven wear.
