2009 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · CV09 LNP

The 2009 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 March 2026 at 127,451 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came just four months before today's date, so the certificate is current. A failed test on 2 March 2026 at the same mileage recorded no defects, and the vehicle passed the following day, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,500 miles per year against the car's 17-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show steady accumulation: 113,727 miles in February 2023, 120,317 in February 2024, 125,208 in February 2025, and 127,451 by March 2026. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 entries covers 6,590 miles, while the final year added only 2,243 miles, indicating the car saw lighter use most recently. The MOT data is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass, so the file gives no warning of pending wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as the Mazda 3 of this era is prone to rust on structural members and rear axle components that an MOT without advisories may not have flagged in depth. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the absence of recorded advisories across five years is unusual and warrants verification of underside condition. Given the car's age and 127,451 miles, expect consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust hangers to need renewal soon. The lack of recurring faults in the official data points to no worsening mechanical trend, yet a pre-purchase check of binding calipers and emissions hardware remains sensible before completion.
