2021 Mazda 3 2.5L Petrol · AE70 EVN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 4 March 2025 at 19,560 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in March 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of upkeep since its only recorded failure. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 14,298 miles and the March 2024 test at 16,629 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,331 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake pads, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as corrosion on brake discs or flat-spotting on tyres if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. The only recorded failure in the history occurred on 29 January 2024 at 16,465 miles due to a damaged windscreen obstructing the driver's view. This was a non-mechanical defect rather than a sign of structural failure. A buyer should verify that the windscreen was subsequently replaced or repaired and ensure no new cracks have formed in the glass. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking brake rotors for surface pitting and inspecting suspension components for cracking, as these parts often age through time even when vehicles sit for long periods.
