2014 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · FH64 FLL

The 2014 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 88,283 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 November 2024 at 86,627 miles confirms the vehicle entered its eleventh year free of flagged advisories or failures. Mileage sits at 88,283 against a 12-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,357 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The record shows 80,104 miles on 7 June 2023, rising to 80,228 by 21 November 2023, then 86,627 by November 2024 and 88,283 by May 2025. The sparse but clean history reveals no rapid accumulation or standing gaps; the owner covered only 124 miles across the six months to November 2023, then roughly 6,400 in the following year. A single failure appears on 11 November 2024 at 86,627 miles with no defects listed, reversed by a pass one day later, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded retest rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and suspension mounts, as the MOT record omits advisories that often surface on a 12-year-old vehicle. The absence of flagged coil springs, suspension bushes, or brake disc wear across five tests implies basic upkeep, yet low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components and binding calipers from lack of use. Given the clean DVSA trail, the previous keeper appears to have maintained the car to pass standard without neglect of consumables. Verify service history matches the odometer and check tyre sidewall condition, as standing periods between the 2023 and 2024 tests may have aged rubber unseen by the tester.
