Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on November 7, 2025 at 161,824 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the minor electrical and visibility failures from previous tests were addressed promptly. While the vehicle failed its test in June 2025 due to wiper blades and lighting issues, the subsequent passes in October and November indicate that the owner is willing and able to rectify non-compliance issues as they arise. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's 21-year age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 1,417 miles, suggesting very low seasonal use during that specific period. This low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the rapid accumulation of 248 miles between June 2025 and November 2025 shows the vehicle has recently returned to more frequent use leading up to the most recent inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system, given that the recent failures of headlamps, stop lamps, and fog lamps suggest potential issues with bulbs or aged wiring. The wiper blade failure in June 2025 indicates the rubber or motors may have perished, which is a common age-related fault. Given the age of this Mazda Bongo, a thorough check of the structural integrity and corrosion on the sills and wing arches is essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent advisories but remain typical points of failure for vehicles of this era.
