2015 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · GD64 AYM

This 2015 Mazda 3 has a typical mileage profile for its age, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of neglect and potential hard use. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025, the volume of advisories suggests a vehicle that is being run to the absolute limit of safety. The mechanical condition is worsening. The most recent test shows a significant accumulation of wear across multiple systems, including thin brake pads, worn discs, and perishing rear tyres. More concerning is the evidence of impact or hard driving, indicated by a distorted front wheel and a deformed outer sill. A recurring pattern of tyre and suspension issues is evident. The car failed in late 2025 with cords exposed on the front tyres and an excessively worn ball joint. Previous failures include a fractured rear coil spring and distorted wheels. The consistent mention of inner-edge tyre wear suggests ongoing alignment or suspension geometry problems that have not been fully rectified. The mileage is average, but the specific nature of the faults—distorted wheels, body deformation, and severe tyre wear—points toward a history of hard use or poor maintenance rather than simple age-related wear.
