2007 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · ET07 VDJ

This Mazda 3 presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 110,339 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very light duty. The mileage is notably low for a 19 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,807 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the odometer rose from 102,047 to 110,339 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of approximately 2,700 miles per annum over the last three years. This low annual accumulation suggests the car may have spent significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers. The MOT history is unusually devoid of advisories. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, which are typical failure points for this model and age. The only anomaly is a failure on 6 September 2022 at 102,021 miles, which was resolved within four days for the successful test on 10 September 2022. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as these are known weak points for this chassis. Given the low mileage and lack of recent wear, verify the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and check the engine oil for signs of moisture or sludge, which often occurs in vehicles that are under-utilised.
