2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · CV16 ADX

This Mazda 3 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 114,208 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed the day prior on 15 January 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 11,421 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with a notable increase of 9,136 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, and 7,900 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This linear usage pattern suggests the car has been in regular service without prolonged periods of standing. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last four years. Such a void of recorded faults is uncommon for a vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles. It implies a diligent maintenance regime or a vehicle that has avoided harsh environments. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust and check the condition of the brake pads and tyres. Since the MOT record provides no data on consumable wear, verifying the depth of the tyre tread and the smoothness of the brake pedal will confirm if the previous owner maintained the car to the same standard as the official test results suggest.
