2013 Mazda 3 2.2L Diesel · LR63 AEK

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 22 December 2022 at 126,091 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This consistency across multiple years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 9,699 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the testing history between December 2020 and January 2022, though the mileage increase from 113,511 to 117,266 during that period indicates the car remained in use. The most recent interval between January 2022 and December 2022 saw the highest annual accumulation, adding 8,825 miles in under a year. The MOT history is unusually clean for a thirteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions since December 2018. While the lack of flagged defects is positive, the absence of any recorded maintenance on consumables suggests the record may not capture all work performed. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these are common failure points for this era of Mazda 3 that may not have been flagged if the car was kept in a dry environment. Given the current date of 20 July 2026, the vehicle has not had a recorded MOT test in over three and a half years. This is a significant lapse in certification. A physical inspection must prioritise the condition of the tyres and braking system, as components can perish or seize when a vehicle sits idle for extended periods. Verify the current operational status of the engine and electronics before proceeding.
