2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · NL13 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-22 at 57,685 miles recorded a PASS, but an apparent duplicate entry for the same date and mileage shows a FAILED result. This inconsistency may indicate a data error or administrative oversight, though the absence of recorded defects in the PASS entry suggests no immediate mechanical risks. The prior MOTs from 2022 to 2024 show consistent PASS results with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,685 miles at 13 years old equates to approximately 4,437 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The longest gap between MOTs occurred between 2024-02-05 (55,025 miles) and 2025-05-22 (57,685 miles), spanning 15 months. Such intervals may increase the risk of corrosion or component degradation if the vehicle was not regularly driven. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, as low mileage can mask hidden rust. Inspect the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear that might not yet trigger MOT failures. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as inactivity can lead to binding or uneven pad contact. The conflicting MOT results also warrant clarification to confirm the vehicle’sTrue compliance status.
