2014 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · EJ64 AEN

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance profile according to the available MOT history. The most recent test on 1 December 2023 at 76,053 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of successful inspections dating back to at least November 2019, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical domestic use pattern for a 12-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 54,641 miles in November 2019 to 76,053 miles in December 2023. This averages approximately 5,353 miles per year over the documented period, which aligns with the estimated annual usage of 6,338 miles. There are no signs of sudden mileage spikes or long periods of inactivity that would suggest odometer tampering or mechanical neglect. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures or advisories, a physical inspection remains necessary to assess components that do not always trigger an MOT failure. The buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often show wear before an inspector flags them. Given the vehicle's age, checking for underside corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points is also prudent. The absence of brake or tyre advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of consumable upkeep. However, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the brake discs and the remaining life of the tyres during a hands-on inspection. Since the last recorded test was in late 2023, the vehicle is now due for a new inspection, and the buyer should ensure a current MOT certificate is present to confirm the car remains roadworthy.
