2018 Mazda Cx-3 1.5L Diesel · DA18 AAE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 43,030 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a string of flawless passes dating back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle has remained in an excellent mechanical condition without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old Mazda CX-3, averaging approximately 5,379 miles per year. There is a visible increase in usage noted between February 2024 at 24,236 miles and July 2025 at 43,030 miles, where the car covered over 18,000 miles in seventeen months. However, the overall annual average remains well below the national average, suggesting the car was used primarily for short-distance trips. This low cumulative mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories regarding suspension bushes or brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low mileage, such as rubber components that perish over time. The buyer should check the tyres for sidewall cracking and the brake discs for surface rust resulting from long periods of inactivity. While the record is clean of corrosion, a visual check of the underbody and exhaust mounting points remains standard to ensure the structural integrity remains intact despite the lack of heavy use.
