2012 MAZDA 31.6L Petrol

The 2012 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 132,651 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,475 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 82,217 miles in December 2021, 92,644 in January 2023, 102,233 in January 2024, 116,955 in January 2025, and 132,651 in January 2026. A gap exists between the December 2021 and January 2023 entries with no 2022 test logged, but the clean pass results and consistent yearly increments suggest routine use rather than neglect or standing periods. No advisories or failures appear in the supplied data, so the MOT file gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and brake disc wear, as a clean test sheet does not exempt a high-mileage vehicle from age-related fatigue. Given the sparse but clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged deferred maintenance. Verify service history independently and check tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions at the next test interval.
