2017 Mazda Cx-3 1.5L Diesel · RO17 MYK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 89,282 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements, preventing the accumulation of minor faults that typically lead to test failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2022 test at 71,840 miles and the February 2026 test at 89,282 miles, the car covered 17,442 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than erratic bursts of heavy driving. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often preserves the health of engine seals, rubber components, and the braking system. While the digital history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical issues, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear components nearing the 90,000-mile mark. A prospective buyer should check the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these components often begin to degrade at this mileage interval. Brake discs and pads should also be examined for thinning or pitting, as the MOT test only confirms functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the consumables.
