2011 Mazda 5 2.0L Petrol · PE61 PVW

The Mazda 5 passed its most recent MOT on 1 August 2025 at 75,305 miles, following a same-day failure for a non-working nearside rear stop lamp. The underbody carried a thick underseal coating at both tests. The maintenance trend reads as broadly stable with only minor consumable and lighting faults across the record, and no structural or mechanical defects recurred. Recorded mileage sits at 75,305 against a 2011 build, an average of roughly 5,020 miles per year. The car covered 6,216 miles between the November 2022 test at 61,390 and the November 2023 test at 67,574, then 5,049 miles to November 2024 at 72,623, and 2,682 miles to August 2025. Low annual use implies lighter wear but also possible prolonged standing, which the heavy underseal suggests the prior owner treated as corrosion prevention rather than concealment. The November 2023 test flagged both front tyres worn to 3mm on the edge at 67,574 miles; by August 2025 no tyre advisories remained, so the owner addressed them. Rear brake pads were noted wearing thin at 72,623 miles in November 2024 and drew no further comment at the 2025 pass, implying replacement or sufficient remaining material. The stop lamp failure was a simple electrical fix before the same-day retest. A buyer should still inspect the underseal-covered sills, floor, and suspension mounting points for hidden corrosion, as the coating limits visual assessment. Verify the rear brake calipers move freely and the discs are within limits, given the earlier pad wear. Check the replaced front tyres for even wear and confirm the stop lamp circuit holds reliably.
