2011 Mazda 3 2.2L Diesel · LM11 PZN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 with 98,996 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has maintained a clean record across the last two successful inspections. While the history shows previous failures in 2023 and 2025, the immediate passes following these events indicate that the owner addressed any necessary repairs promptly to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 90,784 miles and the September 2024 test at 96,012 miles, the car covered 5,228 miles. A further 2,984 miles were recorded in the fifteen months leading December 2025. This steady, modest accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which helps prevent degradation of rubber components and brake-related seizing. Despite the clean records on recent tests, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as Mazda 3 models from this era are prone to corrosion in the rear wheel arches and sills. Pay close attention to any signs of surface rust that may not yet triggered an MOT advisory. Given the low mileage, you should also check the condition of the suspension bushes and rubber hoses, as these materials can crack and perish over fifteen years regardless of the distance driven.
