2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · OE67 WHR

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent clean MOT record. Following a failure in March 2025 due to imbalanced front brakes, the car successfully passed its subsequent tests in March and November 2025 without any recorded defects. This indicates that the braking issues were addressed promptly and that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness over the last twelve months. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for an eight-year-old vehicle. The recorded 57,223 miles at the November 2025 test represents an average of approximately 7,153 miles per year. The data shows steady progress, with 7,839 miles covered between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and a further 2,057 miles recorded between March and November 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity which can often lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and braking components to ensure the previous issues remain resolved. The March 2024 failure flagged a damaged offside front track rod end ball joint dust cover, so checking the integrity of all steering and suspension bushes and joints is advisable. While the March 2025 failure regarding imbalanced front brakes was cleared, a buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for even wear. The history also noted minor electrical and washer system failures in early 2024. Although these were rectified, testing the windscreen washer jets and all exterior lighting, specifically the rear registration plate lamp, remains a sensible precaution. Overall, the transition from minor mechanical and electrical failures to clean passes suggests a proactive approach to repairs by the previous owner.
