2012 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · FN61 ANU

The 2012 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 101,592 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 7,257 miles, consistent with typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 65,585 miles in September 2021, 76,124 in September 2022, 85,274 in September 2023, 94,481 in September 2024, and 101,592 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean test history across all five entries indicates no advisories or repeated faults were logged. With no advisories raised on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the official record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as MOT passes do not certify absence of developing corrosion. Given the clean history and moderate mileage, in-person checks should focus on tyre condition, wiper blades, and fluid levels rather than major mechanical risks. The absence of flagged defects suggests the car is a sound used purchase, subject to standard pre-sale scrutiny.
