2016 Mazda CX-3 Sport NAV 2.0L Petrol · IIL 1010

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-20 assessment at 40,743 miles. All prior tests from 2020 to 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage for its age warrants scrutiny of potential storage-related wear. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 19,454 miles in 2020, rising to 29,578 by 2022, then 34,332 in 2023, 37,987 in 2024, and 40,743 in 2025. This equates to an average of 4,074 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for a 10-year-old vehicle. A notable gap between 2020 and 2022 saw a 10,124-mile increase over two years, which could indicate periods of inactivity or infrequent use. While the MOT history lacks defects, the low mileage may mask wear on components like suspension bushes or brake discs, which can degrade during prolonged storage. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around the underbody and wheel arches, as low-mileage cars are prone to rust if left stationary. Check the condition of the exhaust system, as idle periods can lead to internal corrosion. Verify the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as these can occur with sporadic use. Additionally, assess the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for fatigue or cracking, which may not surface in MOT tests but could affect long-term reliability. The clean MOT record is reassuring, but physical inspection is critical to confirm the car’sTrue mechanical state.
