2014 Mazda 3 2.2L Diesel · BF14 AGZ

This Mazda 3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 107,992 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in the final year of the record. Between 23 April 2024 and 13 August 2025, the vehicle covered 26,130 miles, a sharp rise compared to the 11,546 miles logged between April 2023 and April 2024. While the overall average of roughly 9,000 miles per year is typical for a 2014 model, this recent surge in usage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion over several years. A failure on 13 April 2022 was resolved within thirteen days, though the record lacks specific detail on the fault. Because the DVSA data shows no flagged issues, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that often escape MOT scrutiny, such as the condition of the oil service history and the state of the clutch. Given the recent high-mileage period, checking for uneven tyre wear and inspecting the brake pads for remaining thickness is advisable. The lack of mentioned structural rust in the records is positive, but a manual check of the underbody and sills remains prudent for a twelve-year-old vehicle to ensure no surface corrosion has developed since the last test.
