2012 Mazda 3 1.6L Diesel · PK62 FHO

The vehicle's roadworthiness remains stable following the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-11-20, which resulted in a pass after an earlier failure on the same date. This pattern suggests that identified defects were addressed, maintaining a satisfactory standard of safety and compliance. The maintenance history indicates a consistent approach to addressing reported issues rather than a worsening trend. Mileage accumulation is steady, averaging approximately 4,698 miles per year over the last two years. The vehicle reached 65,767 miles in the most recent assessment, which is a relatively low figure for a 2012 model. The testing history between 2022 and 2024 was clean, with the only recorded advisory being slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint noted on 2024-11-21. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension components thoroughly. The record specifically flags wear on the offside rear lower suspension arm pin or bush, and slight play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. These are mechanical items that require attention to ensure the stability and longevity of the vehicle's ride. The testing history also noted issues with lighting, specifically a nearside front position lamp failure and a product on the offside front headlamp lens. While not immediately critical, these items should be checked to confirm they are functioning correctly and that no further corrosion is present on the bodywork or suspension mounting points.
