2008 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · CE08 KPU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on November 8,2024 with no defects recorded. While the history shows immediate failures in both 2023 and 2024, these appear to have been rectified quickly as the car passed just two days after the most recent failure. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components were functioning within acceptable tolerance parameters at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 122,771 miles over 18 years reflects an average of approximately 6,800 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,700 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 6,100 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which often leads to rubber component degradation and fluid ingress. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as these are common areas of concern for this generation of Mazda. Despite the clean recent MOT result, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of the wheel arches, sills, and underbody corrosion. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the control arm bushes and the state of the brake lines is advisable to ensure that component wear is not reaching the end of its functional life despite the passing test results.
