2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · PY13 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-19 at 115,210 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-02-06 (103,613 miles) and 2024-02-14 (96,400 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2025-02-04 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about procedural consistency. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage of 115,210 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 8,862 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for this age. Tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage surges. The 2023-02-24 test at 87,096 miles and subsequent 2024-02-14 test at 96,400 miles show steady progression, reinforcing the absence of abrupt wear patterns. The record lacks anomalies, implying consistent usage and minimal exposure to extreme conditions. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may show wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common in older models. Structural integrity, especially under the chassis, warrants scrutiny for rust or damage, as the MOT history does not explicitly confirm these aspects. No advisories or defects in the record suggest the vehicle meets baseline safety, but physical inspection is essential to verify hidden issues.
