2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · HG16 AAU

The vehicle presents a consistently clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 21,901 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of consecutive passes from 2021 through 2025, indicating the vehicle has consistently met minimum regulatory standards without any recorded failures or recurring mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 21,901 over a ten-year period represents exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 2,190 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in mileage across every annual test, from 15,192 miles in April 2021 to 21,901 miles in May 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short, infrequent trips rather than high-speed motorway commuting, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT record is devoid of faults, the low annual mileage carries specific risks that require physical inspection. Vehicles driven short distances frequently suffer from moisture accumulation in the exhaust system and can develop carbon buildup in the engine. You should check the underside for surface corrosion and inspect the brake discs for pitting or heavy oxidation, as infrequent use often leads to binding calipers or uneven wear. A thorough inspection of all rubber components is also necessary. Low-mileage vehicles often experience age-related degradation in suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and wiper blades that an MOT tester might not flag unless they exceed specific thresholds. Check the battery health and fluid condition, as long periods of standing can lead to degradation in the braking fluid and engine oil.
