2018 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · SN68 FBC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 64,805 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during its tenure. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 28,237 miles and the 2025 test at 64,805 miles, the car covered roughly 36,500 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy use. This level of mileage is generally favourable, as it helps prevent seals from drying out and components from seizing, yet it subjects the drivetrain and suspension to typical wear-for-mileage expectations. Since the MOT history shows no advisories regarding suspension bushes, brakes, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable items that the test does not cover. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres tread depth and sidewalls, as well as the state of the brake pads and discs. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for any minor fluid leaks or the cracking of rubber components remains a prudent step to ensure the physical condition matches the excellent documented history provided by the official records.
