2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · FP66 AFK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025 MOT at 59,891 miles. The two-year maintenance trend shows consistent compliance, as the 2024 and 2023 tests at 52,820 and 45,743 miles respectively also passed without issues. Despite a duplicate entry for 2024-08-27 (one marked as failed but with no defects listed), the absence of recurring mechanical failures suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 59,891 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,989 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which might affect components like the battery, fluids, or rubber seals. The 2022 test at 36,806 miles and subsequent 2023 test at 45,743 miles show a 8,937-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 7,077-mile rise to 52,820 by 2024. These intervals suggest regular but minimal usage, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as low mileage may mask wear in bushes or coil springs. The absence of brake-related advisories in MOT records does not preclude manual inspection of calipers, discs, or pedal feel. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the history, so checking for corrosion or panel damage is advisable. While the MOT data reflects compliance, the sparse defect details mean physical examination of critical systems is essential to confirm long-term reliability.
