Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,841 miles per year, you should prioritise checking the full service history to see how the 1998cc engine has been maintained. Negotiate on the basis of the recent suspension and brake issues which indicate that maintenance has often been reactive rather than proactive.
Ask the seller for evidence that the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, which caused a failure in September 2025, has been replaced with quality parts. You should also verify when the tyres and brake pads were last changed, as the MOT history shows these have been recurring points of failure in recent years.
The 2.0L petrol engine puts this Mazda 3 in a higher insurance group and tax band than smaller displacement models. You should expect moderate fuel economy consistent with a larger naturally aspirated petrol engine.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular replacement of tyres and brake components, as evidenced by its MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled maintenance, are expected to be mid-range for a non-diesel hatchback of this age.
A thorough inspection of the suspension is essential; specifically, check the nearside front area for any signs of play or noise, following the ball joint failure recorded at 118,366 miles. The MOT history also highlights a tendency for tyres and brake pads to reach legal limits, so inspect the current tread depth and pad thickness closely.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues, especially given the previous advisory regarding edge wear at 101,560 miles. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion, which is noted as a top failure reason for this model aggregate.
This 2014 Mazda 3, finished in white with a 2.0L petrol engine, has covered 118,380 miles since its first registration in November 2014. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. While the most recent test in September 2025 was a pass with no defects, the vehicle has consistently required attention for consumable parts.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 79.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and corrosion.
