2015 Mazda Cx-3 1.5L Diesel · ND15 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-15 at 30,998 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2025-07-11 at 30,995 miles showed a failure despite no defects being listed. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. Subsequent tests from 2024 and 2023 show stable performance, with passes at 28,348 and 25,911 miles respectively, also with no defects. The pattern indicates no clear mechanical decline, but the recent failure without recorded faults raises questions about the reliability of the MOT data. The vehicle’s mileage of 30,998 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 2,818 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, batteries, and brake systems. The MOT records lack detail on specific faults, making it difficult to assess underlying issues. The absence of advisories or critical defects in most tests suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard, though the 2025 failure without explanation remains a concern. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, given the lack of recorded brake-related issues. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, is critical to assess, as prolonged inactivity may lead to rust. The absence of detailed MOT notes means a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
