2009 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · FL59 PZK

The 2009 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 101,211 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 through 2024 also carried no advisories. The single failure logged on 2 August 2024 at 99,692 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 101,211 against an August 2022 figure of 95,253, giving roughly 5,954 miles per year across the car's seventeen years. The gap between the August 2024 and June 2025 tests covered only 1,519 miles in ten months, confirming very light recent use. Such low annual accumulation suggests long static periods, though the clean record shows no rapid wear spikes or neglected consumable replacement across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as standing time accelerates structural rust more than mileage alone. The absence of brake, exhaust, or emissions advisories across five years implies previous owners kept those systems serviceable, but binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres are common on cars left unused for weeks at a time. Given the clean MOT trail and low mileage, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring intervention. Verify underseal condition and check for perished rubber on arrival, but the documentary evidence supports a sound used purchase.
