2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · PE18 EXZ

This Mazda CX-3 presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 40,807 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,101 miles per year over eight years, which is significantly lower than the UK average. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent, increasing from 24,518 miles in March 2023 to 40,807 miles by March 2026. This steady growth indicates the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. The absence of any advisories or failures across four years of testing is rare. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion between February 2024 and March 2026. This suggests a high standard of previous ownership and a vehicle that has likely been serviced regardless of the low annual mileage. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade with age regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and verify the health of the auxiliary battery. Because the MOT record is unusually clean, a buyer should cross-reference these results with a full service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements were performed on schedule.
