2011 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · YD11 AAY

The Mazda 3 shows a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent DVSA examination on 10 April 2025 at 54,154 miles resulting in a pass and no defects recorded. The tester logged a fail on that same date at identical mileage with no faults cited, repeating a pattern from 17 April 2024 when a fail preceded a pass at 45,276 miles. No worsening mechanical issues emerge across the record; the vehicle satisfied every consequential test after procedural rechecks. Roadworthiness on paper remains intact, with zero advisories for suspension, brakes, or emissions since the 10 March 2023 pass at 39,277 miles. Odometer data confirms low yearly use for a 2011 model. The car recorded 39,277 miles on 10 March 2023, rose to 45,276 miles by 17 April 2024, and reached 54,154 miles on 10 April 2025. That spans roughly 6,000 miles over thirteen months then 8,878 over twelve, both below the 3,610 annual average implied by age. The history stays clean and sparse, suggesting careful keepers who limited mileage rather than deferred consumable replacements. Extended stationary periods likely occurred, a habit that can degrade tyres and seals despite modest totals. DVSA flags no worn suspension bushes, cracked coil springs, binding calipers, corroded structures, or excessive exhaust emissions in any entry. A buyer should still instruct a technician to inspect those components in person, focusing on subframe rust and brake disc condition given fifteen years of age. The repeated same-day fail with no defects denotes administrative rejection rather than mechanical fault; verify the V5C and MOT certificate numbers. Previous owners cleared each legal test without advisory, implying routine compliance but not deep refurbishment.
