About This Data
The 2000 Mazda Mpv has an MOT pass rate of 52.2% based on 1,694 tests — below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 109,269 miles on the odometer. With a 47.8% failure rate, the 2000 Mpv is rated as "Poor" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 2000 Mazda Mpv, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to suspension: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks. With an average mileage of 109,269 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Suspension — 0.3% of failures
Suspension issues account for 0.3% of MOT failures on 2000 Mazda Mpv models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Body, chassis, structure — 0.3% of failures
Body, chassis, structure issues account for 0.3% of MOT failures on 2000 Mazda Mpv models. Body and structure failures include excessive corrosion, sharp edges, loose panels, and damage to the vehicle frame. Rust is the primary concern, especially on older vehicles or those exposed to road salt. Typical repair costs: £100–500+. Pre-MOT check: Inspect sills, wheel arches, door bottoms, and the chassis for rust. Surface rust is acceptable but structural corrosion or holes will fail. Check that all doors, bonnet, and boot close securely.
Tyres — 0.2% of failures
Tyres issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on 2000 Mazda Mpv models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
