2020 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · MA70 VGG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 40,862 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently cleared the testing following initial retests. While the record shows failures immediately preceding the passes, the lack of persistent advisory notes across multiple years suggests that issues are rectified quickly rather than representing a pattern of escalating mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 18,126 miles and the September 2024 test at 28,029 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles. Another 12,833 miles were recorded in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady but relatively low accumulation suggests that wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake assemblies remains well within expected parameters compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural corrosion, an in-person inspection should focus on the condition of consumables that the MOT does not measure in depth. A buyer should check for uneven tyre wear and the state of the brake discs for pitting, which can occur during periods. Given the low annual mileage, it is also worth verifying that rubber components in the suspension show no signs of cracking, as parts can age through time rather than just use.
