Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Prioritise the recurring MOT advisories during your inspection. The rear inner brake pipes have been flagged as corroded in both the 2024 and 2025 tests; you should confirm whether these have been replaced or treated since the last test. Given the very low mileage, check the service history to ensure the vehicle has been serviced at regular intervals regardless of distance covered, as infrequent use can impact battery health and rubber components.
Negotiate based on the cost of addressing the brake pipe corrosion and the repeated advisories regarding the sill covers and undertrays. Ensure that the 2.0L engine is performing smoothly and that there are no signs of fluid leaks, which can sometimes occur in vehicles that spend long periods stationary.
The 2.0L petrol engine provides a more powerful experience than the entry-level variants but will result in higher fuel consumption and a higher tax band. Insurance costs for the CX-3 are generally competitive for the compact SUV segment, though this depends on the driver's profile.
Typical maintenance for this model involves standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads, which are common failure points across the model range. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
The most critical area to inspect is the rear inner brake pipes, as these have been recorded as corroded in the two most recent MOT tests. A qualified mechanic should verify the current state of these pipes to ensure they are safe and not prone to leaking.
Additionally, check the offside front braking system to ensure the binding issue recorded in December 2023 has been fully resolved and is not recurring. Finally, examine the sill covers and undertrays to see why they have been repeatedly noted in the MOT history, ensuring they are securely fastened and not loose or damaged.
This red 2017 Mazda CX-3 2.0L petrol has covered 30,635 miles as of its December 2025 MOT, which is significantly below the model average. The MOT history shows one failure in 2023 due to a tyre cut and brake binding, both of which were resolved. However, there are persistent advisories regarding corroded rear inner brake pipes and the fitment of sill covers and undertrays.
The Mazda CX-3 is generally reliable, with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 89.4% across nearly 25,000 analysed vehicles.
