2013 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · PY13 AAF

This Mazda 3 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 28 April 2025 at 114,070 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single recorded failure or advisory, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. Between May 2021 and May 2024, the car covered 39,000 miles, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per year. A slight decrease in usage occurred between May 2024 and April 2025, with 12,052 miles added. These figures indicate the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left to stand, which generally preserves the health of seals and battery life. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion or suspension wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the DVSA record is clean, a physical inspection should still focus on the rear subframe and sills for surface rust, as these are common failure points for this model that may not always be flagged until they become critical. A buyer should verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed in line with the mileage increases seen between 2021 and 2024. Checking the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads is recommended, as these consumables are not explicitly detailed in a clean pass but will have worn significantly over the last 50,000 miles.
