2017 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · NV66 TFK

The 2017 Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 66,953 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 20 August 2024 at 56,320 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage shows light, consistent use across the timeline. The car covered 43,571 miles by 19 August 2022, rose to 49,181 by 23 August 2023, then 56,320 by August 2024, and reached 66,953 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,400 miles per year against a nine-year lifespan, which sits within typical bounds for the age and implies no aggressive accumulation or prolonged standing. The DVSA data is sparse on faults: only a failed test on 19 August 2024 exists, and it recorded no defects, with the vehicle passing the next day on a clean sheet, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across five years means worn suspension bushes, corroding coil springs, or fatigued brake discs were never formally flagged, yet components at this mileage and age warrant hands-on checks for latent wear not captured by the pass criteria. Given the uneventful history, previous owners appear to have kept the Mazda to a basic statutory test standard without neglect signals such as repeated tyre or emission failures. Verify in person that structural integrity under arches and sills remains free of rust, and confirm the binding calipers or exhaust condition have not degraded silently since the last examination.
