2013 MAZDA 31.6L Petrol

The 2013 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 103,850 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 8 September 2023 at 95,393 miles shows no outstanding advisories in the official history. The vehicle currently holds a valid test with no flagged mechanical or structural concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 103,850 against a 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,988 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows a gap between May 2022 (78,412 miles) and September 2023 (95,393 miles) where the car covered about 17,000 miles in sixteen months, then only 8,457 miles across the following twenty-two months to July 2025. The early history is sparse but clean apart from two same-day failures in 2022 and 2023 that recorded no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The repeated failed tests on 10 May 2022 and 2 September 2023 at 78,412 and 95,387 miles carry no listed defects, so the record gives no evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake discs. A buyer should still verify the underside for corrosion and check the front coil springs and calipers, as these are common on high-mileage Mazda 3 platforms and would not always show as advisories if missed at test. Given the absence of recorded advisories across four passes and two non-defect failures, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing in order. Physical inspection should confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions against the presented mileage, but the MOT data alone shows no worsening trend or recurring consumable neglect.
