2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · EY16 UKB

The 2016 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 November 2025 at 106,480 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage progression shows consistent annual use aligned with typical expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 56,363 miles on 20 August 2022, 73,405 on 26 August 2023, 92,633 on 7 November 2024, and 106,480 on 1 November 2025. This reflects roughly 10,600 miles per year with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the timeline. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA pass criteria without deferred consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and suspension components, as MOT passes do not equate to a measured assessment of remaining tyre life, coil spring fatigue, or binding calipers beyond the test day snapshot. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm brake caliper operation, underbody corrosion status, and drivetrain condition at 106,480 miles. The clean history suggests no recurring mechanical trend, yet high-mileage Mazda 3 units commonly develop worn suspension bushes that a road test would expose beyond the scope of the supplied records.
