2015 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · TR60 RAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. The most recent test in February 2026 at 47,375 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and a misting nearside front shock absorber. While the vehicle passed immediately after repairs, the recurring nature of suspension-related failures suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of critical failure. At 47,375 miles over 11 years, this Mazda CX-3 has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the engine and gearbox, but it often accelerates the degradation of rubber components and allows corrosion to set in. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 3,921 miles, yet it failed the test for thin rear brake pads and a broken coil spring, indicating that the vehicle may sit for long periods or suffer from basic neglect despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The February 2024 test flagged corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which is a common tactic used to hide structural decay from the tester. Furthermore, the light misting on the nearside front shock absorber in 2026 indicates a seal beginning to fail which will eventually require replacement. Close attention should be paid to the ball joint dust covers, as the previous deterioration noted in 2024 suggests the rubber components are prone to age-related cracking regardless of the low mileage.
