2015 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · DA15 DNF

The 2015 Mazda 3 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 124,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the available history. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 87,389 miles in October 2022, rising to 100,502 by October 2023, 112,350 by October 2024, and 124,821 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 12,000 miles per year, consistent with the expected average. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 10 October 2024 carrying no recorded defects before the same-day pass, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and mileage. The MOT record flags none of these, but the tests offered no advisories to confirm wear levels on consumables or structural integrity. Previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current with no neglected failures on tyres, emissions, or braking systems. The absence of advisories across five years implies either diligent upkeep or tests conducted without deep mechanical scrutiny. Verify service history and inspect for hidden rust on sills and subframes before purchase.
