2018 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · NX68 FCY

The 2018 Mazda 3 is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by the recent February 2026 MOT test at 59,492 miles, which returned a clean pass with only a minor advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit. This latest test indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no major defects recorded in the past five tests. The recorded mileage of 59,492 miles over eight years translates to approximately 7,436 miles per year, which is roughly typical for a vehicle of this age. Reviewing the mileage history reveals consistent annual mileage accumulation: 8,602 miles between 2021-11-02 (28,488 miles) and 2022-10-28 (36,528 miles), 9,169 miles between 2022-10-28 (36,528 miles) and 2023-10-26 (45,697 miles), 7,413 miles between 2023-10-26 (45,697 miles) and 2024-10-29 (53,110 miles), and 6,382 miles between 2024-10-29 (53,110 miles) and 2026-02-13 (59,492 miles). No notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation are evident. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres in person, as the February 2026 test noted the nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. Additionally, it would be prudent to check for any signs of uneven wear on the suspension components, such as worn coil springs or bushings, and verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, although no issues were reported in the MOT history. The absence of any major structural or mechanical faults in the MOT records suggests that these areas are unlikely to be problematic, but a thorough inspection is still recommended to confirm the vehicle's overall condition. The clean MOT history, with only minor advisories, suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle adequately. A buyer should also verify the vehicle's maintenance records to ensure that regular servicing has been carried out, which would help to confirm the vehicle's roadworthy condition and provide additional assurance about its overall maintenance and upkeep.
