2005 Mazda RX8 2.6L Petrol · RF55 CWO

The most recent MOT was passed on October 8th, 2021, with the vehicle recorded at 76,251 miles. The MOT history shows a pattern of specific wear items being flagged, notably the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and corrosion noted on the chassis and suspension components. There is also a recorded issue with the nearside front brake pipe corrosion. The trend in the recorded history shows that while some issues were flagged, the vehicle has passed subsequent MOTs, suggesting that any immediate, critical safety failures have been addressed or resolved. However, the noted corrosion and tyre wear indicate ongoing wear and potential structural concerns. The mileage of 76,251 miles for a 2005 model suggests a relatively low annual mileage of approximately 3,631 miles per year, which could indicate lighter use or extended periods of standing rather than heavy daily driving wear. The main risk pattern is related to the condition of the suspension and braking system components, evidenced by the anti-roll bar linkage play and the brake pad wear noted in 2017. A buyer must inspect the tyres immediately, paying close attention to the nearside rear tyre condition. They should also thoroughly inspect the suspension components for signs of corrosion or damage, particularly around the areas mentioned in the 2021 report. Finally, check the brake system components for any signs of wear or corrosion.
