2008 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · AX08 JPJ

The 2025‑07‑31 MOT at 115,849 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test. Earlier entries from August 2024 and August 2023 also show passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no recent mechanical failures. The mileage has risen from 110,259 miles in August 2023 to 115,849 miles in July 2025, an increase of roughly 5,600 miles over two years, or about 2,800 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 6,400 miles per year for an 18‑year‑old car and shows no evidence of long standing periods or sudden high‑usage bursts. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension system, looking for worn bushes or sagging coil springs, and inspect the brake assembly for binding calipers, worn pads and condition of the discs, as these components are prone to deterioration on high‑mileage examples of this model. Particular attention to structural rust around the wheel arches, sills and chassis, as well as the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, is advisable. Given the absence of recorded defects, the car appears to have been maintained without major mechanical failures, but a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and a check of the exhaust system for rust or leaks are advisable before purchase.
