Hi there,
I have just had an AA appraisal done on a 2007 Mazda and the report says that the general condition is satisfactory and in average condition for its age and mileage. There is nothing in the defects/problems area. Would this mean that it is average and I shouldn't buy it, should it say good or very good condition? Thanks

I'd need to see the whole report, but if there are no real defects and the condition is average for the age and mileage, that would indicate to me that the condition is in keeping with other similar vehicles, so all things considered, I wouldn't be put off buying such a car.

Thanks for that, very helpful. There isn't much else on the report, it just lists the things that were checked. Cheers

Great - that's a good sign and indicates a car with very little wrong with it.
