2006 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · DA06 MRO

The Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 July 2025 at 83,008 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior four annual tests from June 2022 through June 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The single failure on 30 June 2025 at 83,006 miles recorded no defects, indicating a administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-based fail, reversed within three days by the pass. Mileage stands at 83,008 against a 2006 build, an average of roughly 4,150 miles per year. The records show gentle accumulation: 67,304 miles in June 2022, 72,508 in June 2023, 79,160 in June 2024, and 83,008 by July 2025. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no rapid jumps appear. Low annual use of this pattern often means long stationary periods, which raises risk of perished rubber components and surface corrosion not captured by a defect-free MOT sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or seizing linked to infrequent movement. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for rust, as the test data offers no visibility beneath the car. Confirm the 30 June 2025 failure cause with the testing station, since DVSA logs show no defect entered despite the rejected status.
