2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · GF18 LCJ

The latest MOT, taken on 17 April 2026 at 6,919 miles, passed with no defects recorded. All previous annual checks – 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 – also passed cleanly, showing a consistent, defect‑free record over five years. The vehicle’s mileage is unusually low for an eight‑year‑old model, averaging roughly 865 miles per year. This could indicate light, infrequent use or long periods of storage. Either scenario means that wear‑and‑tear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, and suspension may be lower than average, but it also raises the possibility of components sitting idle for extended times, which can lead to issues like rust or seal degradation. Overall, the MOT trend is stable: no new faults have appeared, and the car has maintained a clean record. There is no evidence of a deteriorating pattern or emerging problems in the supplied data. Key checks for a prospective buyer should include: Inspect the brakes and tyres for wear and uniformity. Verify that the battery is in good condition and that all electrical systems (lights, infotainment, sensors) are functioning. Check the engine bay for leaks, corrosion, and ensure the oil level and quality are appropriate.
