2005 Mazda Bongo Friendee 2.0L Petrol · NJ05 CCU

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record across the last four annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 124,179 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they reached the threshold of a failure or a recurring advisory note. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,179 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 5,900 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 4,056-mile interval between April 2024 and 2025, and another 4,322 miles covered between 2025 and 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid seals due to longer periods of stationary operation. Despite the clean digital MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis. Given the vehicle's age, the buyer should check for corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and mounting points for the suspension, as these areas often hide rust that becomes significant. The tester should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perish, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from material fatigue rather than mechanical wear. Checking the brake calipers for binding or seized pistons is also advisable to ensure that the infrequent use typical of driven short distances has not led to internal corrosion.
