2017 Mazda Cx-3 1.5L Diesel · NL67 AXC

The 2017 Mazda CX-3 presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 3 June 2026 at 49,438 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and consistently strong. Every recorded test back to 2022 has returned a pass with no advisories or failures whatsoever, indicating diligent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns over the life of the record. At roughly 5,493 miles per year, this CX-3 has covered significantly less than the UK average annual mileage of around 7,900 miles. The odometer readings show steady but modest accumulation: 34,670 miles in September 2022, 39,495 in June 2023, 42,650 in May 2024, 45,874 in May 2025, and 49,438 in June 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation. The annual increments hover between roughly 3,100 and 3,600 miles, suggesting regular short-to-medium distance use rather than prolonged standing or aggressive high-mileage driving. With no recurring faults flagged across five consecutive MOTs, there is no pattern of wear items or structural defects to raise concern. A prospective buyer should still inspect the tyre condition and tread depth, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for extended periods and can develop sidewall cracking or uneven wear from static loading. The underside deserves a visual check for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as short-trip driving can accelerate moisture-related corrosion even on well-maintained cars. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness, since infrequent use can lead to disc corrosion and uneven pad deposition that an MOT may not always catch between long test intervals. The clean MOT record speaks well of the previous keeper's attention to maintenance. A test drive over varied road surfaces will confirm whether the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and steering components remain tight and free from play, as these parts age regardless of mileage. Given the absence of any flagged issues, this CX-3 appears to have been responsibly maintained and presents low mechanical risk for a buyer who verifies its physical condition in person.
