2010 Mazda 3 1.6L Diesel · CV60 ERO

The 2010 Mazda 3 presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 7 April 2025 at 199,196 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows two anomalous fail entries on 4 April 2025 at 199,173 miles and 5 April 2024 at 187,014 miles, both logged with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or documentation errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 199,196 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 12,450 miles per year, which is high for the model age and points to sustained daily use. The odometer moved from 175,109 miles at the 20 March 2023 test to 187,014 by 5 April 2024, then to 199,196 by April 2025, showing consistent annual accumulation near the long-term average with no standing periods or sudden jumps. The DVSA record itself is sparse, carrying only pass and defect-free fail lines, so no wear-driven advisories on tyres, brakes, or suspension appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT history omits any advisory logging that might otherwise reveal creeping rust at this mileage. The tester recorded no brake disc wear, binding calipers, or worn suspension bushes across the five entries, but at nearly 200,000 miles the original dampers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions components warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not captured by a clean test sheet. The repeated zero-defect fail entries on identical dates as passes imply the previous owners used compliant garages and kept the car test-ready, yet the lack of any recorded advisories across high annual mileage is unusual and may reflect minimal scrutiny rather than a fault-free vehicle. Verify service receipts and inspect underneath before purchase.
