2016 Mazda 3 2.2L Diesel · PH11 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on March 5, 2026, at 91,055 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred on March 14, 2025 at 83,942 miles, the vehicle passed again just three days later, suggesting a minor reactive repair rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 8,488 miles, while the interval between March 2024 and March 2025 saw 6,914 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests regular operation, which is generally beneficial for preventing the seizing or degradation of rubber components and brake assemblies often associated with long periods of stationary vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the five-year history, a buyer should focus on typical wear items for a Mazda 3 of this age. Inspect the rear suspension subframe and mounting points for surface corrosion, as these are common areas for structural degradation on this model over time. Also check the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and examine the suspension bushes for cracking, as the 90,000-mile mark often marks the point where rubber components require replacement regardless of a clean MOT record.
