2017 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · KP17 BYO

The 2025‑07‑21 MOT at 53,151 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. Since the 2022‑08‑08 test at 37,533 miles, each subsequent annual test has recorded no failures, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory, averaging 5,906 miles per year over nine years, is modest for a 2017 model and suggests limited annual usage or extended periods of inactivity. The jump from 37,533 miles in August 2022 to 42,151 miles in July 2023 represents a 4,618‑mile increase, while the 2024‑07‑16 test at 49,017 miles adds a 6,866‑mile rise, and the final 2025 entry adds only 4,134 miles, showing a steady but not rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and inspect the chassis for any signs of structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and subframe. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and ensure that emissions continue to meet the required limits. Overall, the absence of recorded defects across four consecutive MOTs, combined with low mileage per annum, points to a well‑cared‑for example, but a thorough physical inspection of the highlighted components remains essential before purchase.
