2016 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · RF16 CYV

The 2016 Mazda 3 is roadworthy, the 10 October 2025 MOT at 28,927 miles confirmed a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 23,247 miles in October 2022 to 28,927 miles in October 2025, an increase of roughly 2,100 miles per year, matching the vehicle’s age and showing no abrupt spikes; earlier tests at 25,554 miles in October 2023 and 26,821 miles in September 2024 fill the intervening years, confirming a continuous log. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brakes for binding, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for corrosion, as these items commonly show signs of use on high‑mileage examples. Check the exhaust system for rust, especially around the rear pipe and muffler, and verify structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for any corrosion that could affect safety; also assess tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and any signs of fluid leaks, because consumable wear can mask underlying issues.
