2014 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · FJ14 VAD

The 2014 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 74,506 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. Mileage sits at a typical 6,209 per year for a twelve-year-old car. The records show 65,941 miles on 28 September 2023, rising to 69,325 by 8 October 2024, then 70,098 on 14 March 2025 and 74,506 by March 2026. The gap between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests covers just over 3,300 miles, indicating light use. A failed entry on 28 September 2023 at 65,941 miles carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions-test anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, with the same-day pass confirming the car was sound. The clean advisory sheet across every test means the tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, binding calipers, or failing brake discs. That points to conscientious upkeep by previous owners and no recurring consumable neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and exhaust emissions given the car's age. Verify the September 2023 fail reason with DVSA, though the immediate pass implies no lasting concern. Otherwise the record supports a low-risk purchase.
