2014 Mazda 3 1.5L Petrol · DA64 KOD

The 2014 Mazda 3 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 146,011 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Two days earlier on 12 November 2025 at the same mileage the vehicle failed, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects; this points to an administrative or documentation failure rather than a mechanical fault, with the owner correcting it swiftly to secure the pass. Annual mileage sits at roughly 12,168 miles per year against a 12-year-old car, placing it on the high side for its age. The records show steady accumulation: 103,762 miles in November 2022, 122,642 in November 2023, 138,607 in November 2024, and 146,011 by November 2025. That is about 16,000 miles added in the first year of the sequence and tapering to under 8,000 in the latest, suggesting reduced use recently. No gaps exceed thirteen months between tests, so the history is clean and continuous. With no advisories or defects logged across any test, the MOT data alone reveals no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for rust, check the condition of consumables like tyres and wiper blades, and verify the drivetrain given the high total mileage. The unexplained fail with no listed defect warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate match the DVSA record before purchase.
