2011 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · OU61 XHT

The vehicle currently stands on the verge of roadworthiness, as the most recent test on 18 June 2026 at 152,102 miles was passed. This indicates that the maintenance trend is stable, with the car continuing to satisfy the MOT requirement through the current date, though the test date is significantly older than the vehicle's operational age. The mileage profile suggests a pattern of rapid accumulation over the past two years, with the first test recorded in January 2025 at 138,647 miles, followed by a second test in January 2024 at 125,428 miles. This rapid growth in mileage over the last year suggests a lack of regular maintenance, likely resulting in accelerated wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. The absence of a third test date in the provided record implies that the vehicle has been in possession for over two years without any further MOT checks. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to address the recurring faults, including the binding rear brakes, insufficient brake pad thickness, and excessive wear on the lower suspension arm ball joint. These issues represent structural risks that, if not corrected, could compromise the vehicle's safety and roadworthiness.
