2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · CX66 UJD

The 2016 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 June 2025 at 115,988 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Mileage accumulation has been moderate and consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 28,978 miles at the 28 July 2021 test, rising to 53,768 by 5 August 2022, then 81,635 on 18 July 2023, 100,264 on 29 July 2024, and 115,988 by June 2025. Annual increments average near 11,600 miles with no abrupt gaps or dormant periods that would suggest prolonged standing or deferred use. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Absence of advisories does not confirm component condition, only that items stayed within legal limits on test days. At 115,988 miles the original clutch, dampers, coil springs, and brake discs will carry substantial fatigue even if unflagged. Examine underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, check for weeping suspension seals, and measure remaining tread and disc lip wear. The previous keeper appears to have maintained the car to test standard without neglect of consumables. The unbroken pass history with no minor or major defects implies disciplined servicing. Verify service invoices to corroborate the MOT cleanliness before purchase.
