2017 MAZDA 3 SE2.0L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 June 2025 at 80,615 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently met testing standards without recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows failures in June 2024 and June 2025, the lack of specific defect descriptions suggests these issues were likely rectified immediately prior to the tests without indicating deep mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between the December 2022 test at 60,201 miles and the July 2024 test at 74,342 miles, representing an accumulation of 14,141 miles over 19 months. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 6,300 miles in the last year. This steady rate of use suggests regular operation which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like seals and brake assemblies compared to long periods of standing. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear items that the test does not fully capture. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms for tearing, as these are common points of wear on this Mazda platform. Given the mileage, verify the thickness of the brake discs and check for uneven pad wear to ensure no binding calipers have developed between tests despite the clean test results.
