2016 Mazda Cx-3 1.5L Diesel · WX16 ABZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 5 February 2026 at 47,689 miles confirming its current roadworthiness. While the car has passed its tests consistently, the record shows a minor recurring issue regarding seatbelt functionality. The tester flagged a sticking offside rear seatbelt during the February 2025 test at 43,283 miles, which caused an initial failure, though this was rectified for the subsequent pass. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,769 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered between annual tests, such as the 4,727-mile rise between February 2024 and February 2025. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle has likely seen light commuting or infrequent long-distance travel rather than heavy commercial or high-intensity use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and consumable wear. The February 2024 test at 39,010 miles identified pitted and scored front brake discs alongside uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre. Although these were cleared, the February 2020 failure due to thin front brake pads indicates that the braking components are subject to standard wear cycles. It is advisable to inspect the current thickness of the brake pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure they have not been neglected since the last service. The overall history lacks any indications of structural corrosion or suspension failures, which is typical for a low-mileage vehicle of this age. Beyond checking the seatbelt mechanism to ensure it operates smoothly, the primary focus should remain on the condition of the tyres and the brake assembly to confirm that the previous issues with uneven wear and pitting have been fully addressed through regular maintenance.
