2021 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · GD04 SON

The vehicle maintains a stable mechanical condition with a clean pass recorded on 29 August 2025 at 24,615 miles. This certificate remains valid for another two months as of June 2026. The absence of defects or advisories across the available history suggests consistent upkeep. The tester noted the presence of engine covers and undertrays during this examination, which is standard for this model but requires a physical check to ensure components beneath are not obscured. Usage remains exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the August 2024 test at 20,544 miles and the most recent inspection, the odometer increased by only 4,071 miles. This annual average of roughly 4,000 miles indicates light duty, which generally reduces wear on suspension bushes and drivetrain parts, though prolonged inactivity can sometimes cause issues with brake discs or tyre perishing. Given the lack of recorded faults, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on the effects of low mileage rather than repairing past failures. Verify that the brake callipers are free from corrosion and not binding, as infrequent use can lead to seized mechanisms. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and ensure the engine undertrays are securely fastened without hiding oil leaks or corrosion on the subframe.
