2010 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · BD10 VCK

This Mazda 3 presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a current roadworthiness status of passed. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 117,576 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of passes over the previous three years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,348 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of distance, with 10,430 miles added between February 2025 and February 2026, and 10,468 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This linear usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 2010 model, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across four years of testing. A failure on 20 February 2023 at 85,950 miles was resolved on the same day, though the record lacks specific detail on the fault. This lack of recurring issues suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT test may overlook or that typically fail on this chassis. Specifically, check for corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as structural rust is a common weakness for this era of Mazda 3. While the record is clean, a manual check of the clutch bite point and a visual inspection of the coolant levels will provide a more complete picture of the drivetrain health.
