2009 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · HV59 EYM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record over the last three years. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 102,091 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior. This sequence suggests that any minor issues identified during the initial test were rectified immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintenance by the current owner rather than a pattern of recurring mechanical or structural failures. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,091 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 6,000 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light domestic use, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,850 miles covered between April 2024 and May 2025. There are no signs of rapid accumulation that would suggest high-stress operational patterns. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches, as Mazda vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the MOT history is clear of defects, low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and split boots. Inspect these areas for cracking and check the brake discs for surface pitting, as long periods of standing can cause oxidation even when the vehicle is not being used frequently.
