2011 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · CP11 OGX

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 3 March 2026 at 90,551 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three annual inspections indicates a diligent approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owner. While the record shows a failed test on 20 February 2025 at 85,483 miles, this was rectified within twenty-four hours, suggesting a minor administrative or immediate mechanical correction rather than a systemic failure. The recorded mileage of 90,551 over a fifteen-year lifespan averages approximately 6,037 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The consistency of the annual testing intervals from 2023 through 2026 confirms the car has remained in regular operation without extended periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of miles is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished rubber seals due to long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes, as Mazda models of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and sills. Although the MOT history is clean, surface oxidation may be developing underneath the vehicle that has not yet reached a failure threshold. You should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, as light usage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on the friction surfaces despite a passing MOT result.
