2021 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · DU71 XFM

Based on the MOT history, this 2021 Mazda 3 presents an exceptionally clean record. It passed both its 2024 and 2025 tests without any defects being recorded, which is a strong initial positive sign. The most recent test in September 2025 confirmed its satisfactory condition at 16,951 miles, and this data is relatively recent. The mileage is notably low for a vehicle that is approaching five years old. Averaging under 3,400 miles per year suggests the car has seen light use or significant periods off the road. While this often means less general wear on the engine, transmission, and brakes, it can sometimes lead to issues from inactivity, such as flat-spotting on tyres, deteriorated rubber seals, or brakes that may have developed surface rust. The mechanical trend from the MOT data is stable and positive, with no recurring issues noted over the two test cycles. There is no evidence of a worsening pattern. However, the very low mileage means you should be cautious about the condition of components that suffer from age or lack of use, rather than high mileage. Before purchase, your most important checks should be a thorough test drive from cold to assess engine, gearbox and brake performance.
