Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a high-mileage driver, provided the higher-than-average mileage is acceptable to you. The recent MOT history shows a clean record with no defects in the last two years.
The primary consideration for this specific vehicle is its mileage. At over 80,000 miles in roughly five years, it has been driven much more intensively than the average Mazda 3 in our database. You should check if this high usage was primarily motorway mileage, which is generally less taxing on mechanical components than stop-start city driving.
When negotiating, ask for a detailed service history to see how the 2.0L petrol engine has been maintained at these higher intervals. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT is a minimum standard test; a full service history is essential to ensure the vehicle's longevity given its usage patterns.
With a 1998cc petrol engine, running costs will be moderate. You should expect typical fuel economy for a 2.0L hatchback, which will be higher than smaller-capacity competitors. Insurance groups for the Mazda 3 vary, but the 2.0L engine usually places it in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs should be planned for around the 80,000-mile mark, as components like suspension bushings or spark plugs may require attention. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Given the MOT history, there are no specific recurring failures to look for on this particular car, as the last two tests recorded no defects. However, you should remain mindful of common Mazda 3 failure points identified in our aggregate data, such as headlamps, anti-roll bars, and brake pad wear.
Because this vehicle has covered 80,612 miles, pay close attention to the condition of the tyres and brake discs. Also, inspect the suspension components for any signs of wear, as the model aggregate data suggests anti-roll bars are a common reason for failure across the wider fleet.
This 2021 Mazda 3 features a 1998cc petrol engine and has covered 80,612 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,819 miles per year, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests without any recorded defects. The black exterior and relatively recent registration make it a modern example of this hatchback.
The Mazda 3 shows a 79.3% average MOT pass rate across 124,385 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to lighting and suspension.
