2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Diesel · AY63 EYZ

This Mazda 3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 111,201 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to October 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has avoided the common degradation typical of its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a thirteen year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 87,763 miles in October 2022 to 111,201 miles by July 2025. This represents a steady increase of approximately 23,438 miles over thirty-three months, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which often causes perished seals or seized brake calipers. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. A failure on 28 June 2024 at 99,779 miles was resolved on the same day, though the record does not specify the defect. The absence of recurring advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion suggests the previous owner did not neglect basic mechanical upkeep. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that typically degrade on this model. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as the MOT record does not flag rust but it remains a common vulnerability for 2013 models. Verify the condition of the clutch and gearbox synchronization, as these drivetrain components are not fully assessed during a standard roadworthiness test.
