2018 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · VE68 RHU

The 2018 Mazda CX-3 presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness profile through its MOT history. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 63,085 miles passed with zero defects, indicating the vehicle was presented in clean mechanical condition at that point. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with a single advisory in the 2024 test resolving itself by the following year. No recurring structural, braking, or emissions failures have accumulated, which suggests consistent upkeep across ownership. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,886 miles per year, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The progression is steady and unbroken, moving from 18,537 miles in December 2021 to 63,085 miles by November 2025, with no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in the annual intervals. The 2024 test at 43,974 miles and the 2025 test at 63,085 miles show a jump of approximately 19,111 miles over twelve months, which is higher than the prior average but not extreme for a vehicle transitioning into heavier use. There are no long periods of dormancy recorded in the data. The only advisory in the record appeared in the 28 November 2024 test at 43,974 miles, where both rear inner brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored. This defect did not recur in the November 2025 test, meaning the discs were either replaced or reconditioned within that twelve-month window. A buyer should still inspect the rear braking system in person, checking for uneven disc thickness, lipping, and caliper function, since pitted discs often point to aggressive pad compounds or moisture exposure. Beyond that, there are no structural corrosion advisories, suspension defects, or exhaust emissions failures recorded across any of the five tests. Given the clean 2025 result and the absence of repeated faults, the mechanical risk profile is low. A prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the underside for road salt corrosion, verify tyre condition and date codes across all four corners, and test the front suspension bushes and drop links under load, as these are common wear items on the CX-3 platform that MOT records alone cannot fully confirm.
