2016 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · SL66 CCY

The 2016 Mazda CX‑3 demonstrated roadworthiness in the October 22, 2025 MOT at 57,806 miles, recording a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening issues evident in the most recent test. The vehicle’s mileage averages about 5,781 miles per year over its ten‑year life, suggesting relatively light use, yet the interval between the 2022 failed test at 30,654 miles and the subsequent pass at the same mileage shows a corrective action, and the annual increments rose to 7,486 miles in 2023, 6,880 miles in 2024 and a substantial 12,786 miles in 2025, indicating increased usage in the last two years. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that typically generate recurring advisories: suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, rear brake calipers for sticking, brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks; structural integrity must be examined for rust under the sills, wheel arches and chassis rails, while tyre tread depth and condition, wiper blade wear and fluid levels merit visual and tactile inspection. Given the clean defect history, the car appears well maintained, but the recent mileage surge warrants close verification of brake performance, suspension play and any signs of structural corrosion before final acceptance.
