2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Diesel · NL13 ABU

The vehicle presents a valid MOT pass dated 25 February 2026 at 182,515 miles, confirming roadworthy status five months before today. Maintenance trend stays stable across three years of records. The DVSA log shows no defects at any examination. An odd repeat appears: on 27 February 2025 and again on 25 February 2026, the system filed a fail at 175,079 and 182,515 miles respectively, each followed by a same-day pass with no defects noted. This points to administrative anomaly, not worsening mechanical condition. The 2013 Mazda 3 has covered 182,515 miles in thirteen years, averaging about 14,040 annually, a high burden for its class. Recorded distances climbed from 162,680 at the 15 February 2024 test to 175,082 by 27 February 2025, then to 182,515 at the latest 25 February 2026 inspection. Yearly accumulation fell from roughly 12,400 to 7,400 miles, signalling reduced running. The history remains sparse, with zero advisories on brakes, tyres or structure. Prospective owners must still scrutinise worn consumables in person. The tester documented no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers or brake disc scoring, yet such parts endure stress at high mileage. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion require ramp inspection, especially at sill seams and subframe mounts. The duplicate fail-pass entries demand verification of paper certificates to exclude hidden faults or clerical mismatch.
