2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · LT16 AAZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 40,944 miles recorded no defects, maintaining a stable maintenance trend dating back to 2022. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from any significant mechanical failures or recurring structural issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,100 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 29,908 miles and February 2026 at 40,944 miles, the car covered just 11,036 miles, indicating infrequent annual use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or minor corrosion on braking components not used regularly. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls cracking or perish rot, as these are common in low-mileage cars. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers have not seized due to infrequent use between tests.
