Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seeking a low-mileage petrol hatchback. The recent history shows a clean record following some minor setbacks in previous years.
When inspecting this specific CK60BVY, focus on the recent trend of passing MOTs without defects. While the 2023 and 2024 failures indicate previous issues, the fact that the vehicle has passed the last two tests cleanly is a positive sign. Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repairs made following the 2023 and 2024 failures to understand what was addressed.
Given the age of the vehicle, check for any signs of age-related wear that might not be captured by an MOT, such as interior condition or tyre tread depth. Since this is a 1.6L petrol model, ensure the service history includes regular oil changes to maintain the engine's longevity.
With a 1598cc petrol engine, this Mazda 3 is likely to fall into a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this era of Mazda 3 is generally respectable for a non-hybrid petrol hatchback, making it suitable for mixed driving.
Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for common wear-and-tear items. Based on the model aggregate data, you should be mindful of costs related to brake pads and anti-roll bars, which are frequent failure points for this model across the UK.
Based on the aggregate data for the Mazda 3, you should pay close attention to the braking system and the anti-roll bar components. Although this specific vehicle has had no defects recorded in its most recent two MOTs, these are statistically common failure points for this model.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is another top reason for MOT failures in the wider model sample. Inspect the suspension components for any play or knocking sounds, which could indicate issues with the anti-roll bar or related bushings.
This 2010 Mazda 3 features a 1.6L petrol engine and has covered 53,064 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 6,841 miles per year. While the MOT history shows two failures in 2023 and 2024, the most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 have passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's black paintwork and relatively low odometer reading suggest it has been used less intensively than many similar examples.
The Mazda 3 shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.3% across 124,406 analysed vehicles, with headlamps, anti-roll bars, and brake pads being the most frequent failure points.
