1997 Mazda Bongo Friendee 2.5L Diesel · P181 CCT

The 2023-03-22 MOT resulted in a pass at 236,987 miles, but the preceding entry on 2023-03-10 shows a failure at the same mileage. This suggests a possible inconsistency in testing or a technical issue that was resolved between tests. No defects were recorded in either case, which limits the insight into specific mechanical concerns. The 2022-03-08 MOT passed at 231,148 miles, while the earlier 2022-03-04 test failed at 231,116 miles. Again, no defects were noted, indicating that the failures may have been due to procedural or technical factors rather than identifiable faults. The vehicle alternated between passing and failing in consecutive tests, but without recorded defects, the underlying cause remains unclear. The 2021-01-19 MOT passed at 221,669 miles, showing no immediate issues at that point. However, the high mileage of 236,987 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle (roughly 21,544 miles per year) suggests significant usage. This could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain, though no specific defects were documented. The pattern of alternating passes and failures without recorded defects makes it difficult to assess whether the vehicle’s condition is worsening, stable, or improving.
