AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2010 Mazda 3 is currently roadworthy, having passed the November 2025 MOT at 114,571 miles, yet the recent history shows a worsening maintenance trend. The vehicle failed the November 2025 test at 114,570 miles due to a near‑side front suspension arm ball joint that was excessively worn, rear brake pads below 1.5 mm, a worn and pitted rear disc, and an inoperative off‑side registration plate lamp, before being remedied and passing the following day. Mileage has increased steadily from 31,363 miles in 2017 to 114,571 miles in 2025, averaging about 7,160 miles per year, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the record. The largest jump occurred between the November 2023 test at 91,187 miles and the November 2024 test at 101,832 miles, a rise of 10,645 miles, indicating consistent use rather than long standing. A buyer should focus on the recurring suspension faults, particularly the near‑side front and rear ball joints that have been flagged as excessively worn in 2022, 2023 and 2025, and on the condition of the brake system, including front and rear pads, discs and any binding calipers noted since 2019. Inspection of the registration plate lamp wiring, windscreen wiper blades, headlamp aim and the rear subframe for surface corrosion is also essential, as these items repeatedly appeared as advisories or failures. Overall the car meets the minimum roadworthiness criteria after the latest test, but the repeated suspension and brake deficiencies suggest that previous owners may have deferred essential component replacement, and the presence of oil leaks and surface rust points to potential long‑term durability concerns that a prospective purchaser must verify in person.
