2009 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · DA59 DLE

The 2009 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 95,643 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual tests from December 2021 through December 2025, the vehicle passed each time with no advisories or failures logged. This unbroken clean record indicates the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA roadworthiness requirements without recurring mechanical intervention. Annual mileage sits at a low average of roughly 5,626 miles per year against the vehicle's 17-year age, with the record showing 72,088 miles in December 2021, rising to 79,009 in December 2022, 86,568 in December 2023, 91,348 in December 2024, and 95,643 in December 2025. The yearly increments of 6,000 to 5,000 miles are consistent and show no abrupt accumulation or standing gaps. The sparse, clean history gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs across this period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age, as the MOT record does not capture wear below test thresholds. Low use over long intervals can allow corrosion to develop on sills and subframes even when tests show no defects. Verify the underside for structural rust and confirm the condition of tyres and wiper blades, which fall outside the scope of a clean pass sheet. The absence of advisories across four years suggests the prior owner addressed issues before they reached test-flag level. Treat the clean record as a positive signal, but validate actual component condition in person before purchase given the Mazda is now over sixteen years old.
