2021 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · SO71 CKV

The Mazda 3 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 24,927 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows an earlier clean pass on 9 September 2024 at 19,525 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across its two recorded tests. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a five-year-old car. Between September 2024 and August 2025 the odometer advanced only 5,402 miles, averaging roughly 4,985 miles per year since registration. The record contains just two annual tests with no gaps beyond standard yearly cycling, and both entries are clean. Low accumulated distance suggests limited urban or motorway cycles rather than neglected storage, though standing periods cannot be ruled out from the data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion despite the absent advisories. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet MOT passes on low-mileage vehicles often miss intermittent binding calipers or perished rubber that only surfaces under load. Verify the service history matches the sparse but consistent 5,000-mile annual use. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low-frequency movement and confirm coolant and brake fluid intervals were kept. The clean record implies the previous owner maintained basic upkeep, but two passes without advisories offer limited insight into wear on consumable items not yet due for replacement.
