2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · KF18 DDA

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its most recent 2025 MOT at 57,191 miles. The 2023 failure at 33,856 miles was noted without specific defects, suggesting a minor technical issue resolved before the subsequent 2023 test at 34,078 miles. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the record, and the 2024 and 2022 tests also showed no defects, indicating consistent maintenance. The car’s recent pass aligns with its typical annual mileage of ~7,149 miles, reflecting average usage for its age. Mileage progression reveals a 12,097-mile increase between the 2023 and 2024 tests, which may indicate heightened usage or a period of frequent driving. The 2023 failure occurred just 222 miles before the next test, implying rapid resolution of any underlying issue. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the absence of defects in all but one test suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential minor wear patterns. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, given the mileage and age, and inspect brake systems for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or exhaust emissions issues in the record is reassuring, but physical inspection is recommended to confirm the integrity of the chassis and underbody. No advisories or recurring faults are documented, but the 2023 failure warrants inquiry into whether it was related to non-structural elements like lighting or emissions.
