2022 MAZDA 32.0L Petrol

The Mazda 3 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture as of the most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 17,522 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults across the supplied history. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage, with no defects cited, points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect, and the passing certificate issued that day confirms the car held a valid roadworthy status. At roughly four years old the car shows just 17,522 miles, equating to about 4,380 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or extended standing periods, which can allow tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes to degrade through inactivity rather than wear. The record offers only the September 2025 entries, so no earlier tests exist to chart rapid accumulation or gaps; the clean pass indicates the prior keeper kept consumables and emissions within limits up to that point. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of brake calipers for binding after standing, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-mileage storage. The tester raised no advisories on structural integrity, corrosion or exhaust emissions, so no recurring mechanical trend demands correction. Given the sparse history, verify service stamps and confirm the September 2025 failure was clerical, not a concealed fault cleared the same day.
