2022 Mazda 3 2.0L Petrol · YC22 KWF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, passed with zero recorded defects at its most recent test on 18 April 2026 at 52,759 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly improving: the May 2025 test initially failed due to a structural near-side front tyre defect, and while the subsequent same-day pass still flagged worn front brake pads on both sides and a lightly oil-misting near-side front shock absorber, all noted issues were resolved by the 2026 test with no outstanding advisories or failures recorded. As a roughly four-year-old vehicle as of mid-June 2026, its recorded 52,759 miles equate to an average annual mileage of around 13,190, which is higher than average for its age. There is an 11-month gap between the May 2025 test at 48,997 miles and the April 2026 test at 52,759 miles, during which it covered just under 3,800 miles, a lower annualised rate than its overall average that suggests lighter use in the most recent year. The available mileage data is consistent, with no unexplained jumps or gaps in the recorded odometer readings across the test history. A buyer should inspect the front brake pads and discs in person, as these were flagged as wearing thin less than a year before the clean 2026 test, and confirm they have not worn below the legal minimum since the last check. The near-side front shock absorber should also be assessed for progression of the previously noted light oil misting, to rule out developing leakage or reduced damping performance that may not have been detected at the time of the 2026 test. The May 2025 tyre bulge failure means all four tyres require close examination for internal structural damage, bulges, or uneven wear, regardless of their apparent tread depth.
