2009 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · RF58 GPU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 12 March 2025 at 111,310 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a previous failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate compliance issues to ensure the vehicle remains legal, and the car has maintained a clean record across the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with low-use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 82,591 miles and March 2024 at 95,766 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage before settling back to roughly 15,500 miles in the final year recorded. This steady pace means the drivetrain and major mechanical components have not been subjected to the high-stress cycles typically associated with high-mileage commuters. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for Mazda 3 models of this era. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the age of the vehicle increases the risk of hidden corrosion in sills and wheel arches that a standard test might miss. Inspect the brake lines and the condition of the control arm bushings, as low-mileage use can sometimes lead to rubber perishation over time rather than mechanical wear.
