2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · EN66 AVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 84,106 miles passed, the tester noted multiple advisories regarding tyre condition, specifically highlighting deterioration and uneven wear on all three front tyres as well as a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. This suggests that the owner tends to address consumable items only when they approach the point of failure rather than replacing them during service intervals. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows steady annual usage with intervals of roughly 8,000 to 12,000 miles between tests. For instance, the car progressed from 55,538 miles in December 2022 to 84,106 miles by December 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which can lead to premature degradation of rubber seals and braking components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in both 2022 and 2025 indicate persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The failure in December 2022 at 55,487 miles due to thin front pads and pitted discs confirms that the braking system has been neglected until inspection failure. You should verify the current thickness of the brake components and ensure the calipers are not binding unevenly. Additionally, the historical cut in the offside front tyre noted in 2024 warrants a close look to ensure the structural integrity of the rubber has not been compromised over time.
