2015 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · CF65 ENW

The 2015 Mazda CX-3 presents a stable and consistently clean maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 25 November 2025 at 93,389 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks the fifth consecutive advisory-free MOT, following clean passes on 12 November 2024 at 86,709 miles, 26 October 2023 at 80,489 miles, 24 November 2022 at 72,508 miles, and 26 November 2021 at 62,225 miles. The absence of any defects, even minor advisories, across five consecutive annual tests spanning over four years strongly suggests attentive ownership and consistent preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation pattern is remarkably steady and typical for the vehicle's age. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the odometer advanced from 62,225 to 93,389 miles, representing an increase of 31,164 miles over four years, or approximately 7,791 miles per year. This aligns closely with the overall lifetime average of roughly 8,490 miles per year calculated from the vehicle's age. There are no notable gaps in the MOT record, with tests conducted annually within a consistent late-October to late-November window each year. The mileage progression between tests shows no sudden spikes or suspicious drops, indicating regular and predictable use rather than long periods of standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that commonly deteriorate on this generation of Mazda CX-3. The suspension system, particularly the front lower arm bushes and rear trailing arm bushes, warrants close examination for perishing or play, as these are frequent failure points on Mazda platforms of this era. The rear brake calipers should be checked for signs of binding or sticking, a known issue on the CX-3 that can manifest between MOT intervals. Underbody corrosion, especially around the rear subframe mounting points and sills, should be inspected carefully, as the vehicle is now over a decade old and structural integrity can degrade even without triggering an MOT failure. The exhaust system, particularly the flexi-joint and catalytic converter efficiency, deserves attention given the vehicle's age and mileage. Tyre condition and uneven wear patterns should be assessed, as these can reveal hidden suspension or alignment issues that a standard MOT may not always capture.
