2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · PY13 ABU

The 2013 Mazda 3 holds a roadworthy status following the most recent MOT pass on 19 January 2026 at 81,752 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five available tests is stable, showing zero advisories or mechanical faults. A notable anomaly appears on 21 January 2025 when the tester logged a fail at 79,517 miles yet listed no defects, followed by a pass on the same date; this indicates a procedural or clerical matter rather than a degradation in condition. Odometer data reveals a low-use pattern relative to the vehicle's age. Between the 23 January 2023 test at 74,697 miles and the 19 January 2026 test at 81,752 miles, the car travelled only 7,055 miles, an annual average near 2,350 miles. This sits far below the lifetime mean of roughly 6,289 miles per year for a 13-year-old car. The sparse, clean record suggests light recent running, though it offers little evidence of routine consumable replacement such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components despite the absent MOT flags. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue, and check structural integrity for concealed corrosion around sills and subframes. The DVSA tests raised no exhaust emissions or braking concerns, but visual checks can miss internal wear. The duplicated 2025 entries at identical mileage imply a possible ownership change or administrative correction; confirm the V5C and service receipts to validate previous keeper care.
