2011 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · AX11 EYY

The Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 130,459 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with four consecutive passes and a single failure in June 2025 that carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at that test rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worn consumables appear in any entry from 2022 to 2025. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,700 miles per year against the car's 2011 build, a typical figure for this age and class. The records show steady use: 116,656 miles in June 2022, rising to 122,639 by June 2023, 126,493 in June 2024, and 130,105 at the failed June 2025 test. The jump to 130,459 by 7 July 2025 adds only 354 miles in under a month. The data is sparse but clean, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen years and 130,000 miles of service. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet age-related deterioration of subframe mounts and exhaust hangers is common on MK2 Mazda 3 bodies and will not always surface in a pass result. The unexplained failure on 10 June 2025 with zero defects warrants a check of the original refusal notice to confirm whether it was a documentation error or a withdrawn test. Otherwise, the record implies conscientious annual testing and no skipped intervals, a positive signal about prior owner care.
