2018 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · FP67 YJB

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 6 January 2026 at 28,496 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a sequence of successful inspections dating back to 2022, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the minimum legal requirements without recurring issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Averaging approximately 3,562 miles per year, the car has covered significantly less ground than the UK average. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in mileage across every annual test, from 15,191 miles in January 2022 to the current 28,496 miles. This pattern suggests regular, short-distance usage rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT record is entirely free of advisories, there are no documented trends regarding brake wear, suspension bushings, or exhaust corrosion to flag. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to less frequent use of certain mechanical systems. A physical inspection should focus on ensuring the battery remains healthy and checking that the tyres have not developed flat spots or sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement these MOT results. While the MOT history confirms the absence of structural or safety-critical failures, it does not account for fluid changes or preventative maintenance. Given the low mileage, inspecting the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and checking the integrity of the suspension components will ensure the vehicle's actual condition matches the clean regulatory record.
