2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · B20 OBC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on 30 December 2025 at 59,155 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures following initial tests, these were resolved on the same day as the tests. This trend suggests that minor compliance issues or consumable-related failures were addressed promptly to secure a pass, rather than indicating a chronic mechanical failure or structural decay. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the data provided between the May 2024 test at 46,989 miles and the January 2025 test at 79,198 miles. This recorded jump of over 32,000 miles in just eight months contradicts the overall annual average and suggests either a period of intensive use or a clerical recording error in the database. The subsequent December 2025 test at 59,155 miles indicates a return to lower mileage figures, which further complicates the accuracy of the odometer history. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension components and bushings, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. Given the inconsistent mileage figures, a thorough check of the service history against the odometer is essential to ensure the records are accurate. Focus attention on the chassis for any signs of corrosion that the MOT tester has not yet flagged, and verify the integrity of the exhaust system which is common on vehicles of this age.
