2021 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · DN70 AXV

The 2021 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 37,630 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean history across all three available MOT entries. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a five-year-old vehicle. The record shows 20,609 miles at the 6 December 2023 test, rising to 29,244 miles by 4 December 2024 and 37,630 miles by 5 December 2025. That equates to roughly 8,600 miles per year between tests, marginally above the 7,526-mile annual average implied by the current odometer. No gaps or abrupt jumps appear in the data, and the three consecutive passes with zero advisories indicate the previous keeper kept the car to a sound standard. With no advisories or failures logged across any test, the DVSA record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion given the car's age. The clean history suggests light, consistent use rather than neglected standing, but MOT testing does not measure intermediate wear between annual visits. Prospective owners ought to verify service book stamps align with the mileage steps and confirm tyre age, as rubber degradation is not captured by a pass with no defects. The absence of recurring faults points to responsible upkeep, yet physical checks on exhaust emissions hardware and steering joints remain prudent before purchase.
