2007 Mazda 3 1.6L Diesel · CV57 EFG

The 2007 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 19 January 2026 at 131,565 miles, with no defects logged. The maintenance trend is stable. The test history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the three years recorded, indicating the vehicle has cleared each examination on a clean sheet. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,924 per year against the car's 19-year life, with 106,052 miles recorded on 25 January 2024, rising to 117,079 by 15 January 2025 and 131,565 by 19 January 2026. The accumulation is steady at roughly 11,000 to 14,500 miles per year, with no standing gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, showing only pass and immediate re-test fail cycles with no defects cited. The January 2026 and January 2025 failures were both followed one day later by passes at near-identical mileages, 131,551 to 131,565 and 117,063 to 117,079. This pattern suggests administrative or minor presentation issues rather than recorded mechanical defects, though the absence of stated reasons means the buyer cannot rely on the record alone. A purchaser should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and 131,565 miles. The MOT shows no advisories, but a 19-year-old Mazda 3 can hide structural rust and worn consumables that a clean test does not capture. Verify the January 2025 and 2026 failure causes with the test stations before completion.
