2002 Mazda Friendee Bongo 2.5L Petrol · WL52 WHH

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of passing inspections without recorded failures. The most recent test conducted on 28 October 2025 at 47,098 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows similarly clean results from 2024 and 2022, indicating a stable mechanical condition where components are currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,962 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2022 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered only 78 miles over nearly eighteen months. However, the subsequent increase of 10,791 miles recorded between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests suggests a recent shift toward regular use. This low overall mileage implies the drivetrain and engine components have not been subjected to high-mileage stresses. Despite the clean MOT record, the physical inspection must focus on the age-related degradation common with long periods of standing. A buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and rear wheel arches, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and brake hose boots, may have perished or cracked due to age rather than wear. The braking system should also be checked for glazed discs or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
