2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · AE66 TXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in recent testing. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2025 at 62,494 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety and emissions standards. Following a momentary failure in June 2024, the owner successfully rectified the necessary issues, suggesting a proactive approach to maintaining compliance when faults are identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between July 2022 at 38,139 miles and June 2023 at 52,301 miles, the car covered a significant 14,162 miles, which represents a notable spike in usage. However, the mileage has since returned to a more typical, lower annual average. This low overall mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though it can occasionally lead to dry seals if the vehicle sits for stationary. While the MOT history is currently clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Given the vehicle's age, check the chassis for early-stage corrosion, particularly on the rear mounting points and exhaust system where moisture tends to accumulate. The lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes or springs suggests these are in good condition, but a manual check for perished or perished rubber components remains prudent. Since the car has had low annual mileage, also verify the condition of the battery and rubber hoses to ensure they have not suffered from age-related degradation.
