2010 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · GU10 XMM

The Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 91,005 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Two earlier failures on 5 April 2024 at 84,943 miles and 7 April 2025 at 91,005 miles were logged without recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 76,686 miles in April 2023, rose to 84,943 by April 2024, and reached 91,005 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 5,700 miles per year, well below the national average. The annual increments of around 7,000 to 8,000 miles are consistent and show no sudden accumulation or prolonged stagnation. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension, or brake advisories suggests the car was kept under sheltered or gentle use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT history shows no advisories but does not confirm absence of age-related rust on a 2010 chassis. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs should be visually checked for fatigue despite the clean test outcomes. The twin failures with no defects recorded warrant verification that the V5C and DVSA logs align, to rule out clerical anomalies. Given the low mileage and fault-free passes, previous ownership appears to have prioritised basic statutory compliance. The absence of recurring consumable wear flags such as tyres or wiper blades implies either timely replacement or light running. Prospective buyers should confirm service history to corroborate the MOT data.
