2011 Mazda 3 TS 1.6L Other · SJZ 1051

The 2011 Mazda 3 TS is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 April 2025 at 112,309 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s maintenance history is largely stable, showing only a single failure on 17 February 2023 at 90,026 miles, while all other tests were clean. The recent pass indicates the car meets current safety and environmental standards, though the test is now overdue by roughly three and a half months. Mileage accumulation follows a fairly typical pattern for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle, averaging around 7,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2023 the odometer rose from 82,452 miles to 90,026 miles, a modest increase of 7,574 miles. The jump to 103,704 miles by April 2024 represents a larger gain of 13,678 miles, suggesting a period of heavier use or a long‑distance trip. The final year to April 2025 added 8,605 miles, keeping the annual rate close to the norm. The record is otherwise clean, with no significant gaps in testing beyond the recent year. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven thickness or binding, and check the exhaust and chassis for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as should the condition of the floor panels and sills for rust holes. The condition of the steering rack and shock absorbers is also important given the mileage. Finally, confirm that a current MOT is in place and that any advisory items from the last test have been addressed. Overall, the MOT history points to a vehicle that has been reasonably maintained, with only one isolated failure that did not involve recorded defects. The mileage is within expected limits for its age, and a thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on suspension, brakes, and corrosion will provide confidence in the car’s mechanical integrity.
