2006 Mazda Bongo 2.5L Diesel · P42 LRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 July 2025 resulted in a pass at 95,211 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2006 model, averaging roughly 4,761 miles per year. Between 25 July 2023 at 94,867 miles and 7 July 2025 at 95,211 miles, the vehicle covered only 344 miles over two years. This indicates the van has spent significant periods standing still, which often introduces different mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion. Mazda Bongos of this era are prone to structural rust, and the low usage pattern often masks deterioration that occurs while a vehicle is stationary. Check for seized brake calipers and perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, as these degrade regardless of mileage. The records show two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day in July 2024 and July 2025. While the specific defects are not listed, this pattern typically points to minor consumables like bulbs or wiper blades being replaced on-site. Verify the current state of the fluids and battery, as the prolonged inactivity evidenced by the mileage suggests the engine may have suffered from lack of regular heat cycles.
