2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · HT18 JVG

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 25 July 2025 at 59,369 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure exactly one day prior. This pattern suggests that while minor issues occasionally trigger a failure requiring a re-test, the owner is proactive in rectifying faults immediately to ensure the vehicle meets legal standards for use on the road. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between the July 2023 test at 38,485 miles and the July 2024 test at 48,668 miles, the car covered 10,183 miles. A similar interval of 10,731 miles was recorded between July 2024 and 2025. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for components like seals and brake calipers that suffer from seizing. While the MOT history shows no major mechanical failures or structural corrosion, the recurring one-day failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant a physical inspection of the specific items that caused those initial rejects. A buyer should check for light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks, as these are common causes for short-notice failures. Given the low mileage, the focus should also remain on the rubber suspension bushes and the condition of brake discs to ensure no excessive pitting has occurred despite the relatively low distance driven.
