2018 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · MX68 KCV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 39,294 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that all inspected components remained within legal operating parameters. This stability suggests a proactive maintenance regime where the owner has avoided significant mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,912 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 16,911 miles and the 2025 test at 39,294 miles, the car covered roughly 22,000 miles over four years. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assemblies. However, the consistent interval between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or the drying of rubber seals if the vehicle has not been subjected to long-distance runs. Because the MOT record shows no advisories or recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on items associated with low-mileage storage. This includes checking for cracking in rubber components, such as wiper blades and suspension bushes, which can age regardless of distance driven. The brake discs and calipers should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, a common issue on vehicles that sit for extended periods. The absence of structural rust advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains well-preserved.
