2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · RV66 BYD

The 2016 Mazda CX-3 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-08-28 at 43,622 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, though the single 2022 failure at 28,807 miles—despite no defects noted—raises minor questions about data accuracy or unrecorded concerns. Overall, the trend shows no signs of deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,622 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,362 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. Notably, the 2022-08-22 test at 28,807 miles coincided with a 5,200-mile jump from the 2021-08-24 test, suggesting potential gaps in usage or record-keeping. The clean MOT history since 2023, however, offsets some concerns about wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to stiffness in these parts. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, while the exhaust system merits scrutiny for hidden rust. Despite no recorded issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of latent problems not flagged in MOT records.
