2010 Mazda 3 1.6L Petrol · YR10 AAZ

This Mazda 3 presents as mechanically stable and roadworthy based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 86,197 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,387 miles per year. Between 22 January 2024 and 6 February 2026, the odometer climbed from 77,411 to 86,197 miles. This steady increase of approximately 8,786 miles over two years indicates regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers. The absence of advisories across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle. While the record is clean, a buyer should still physically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as surface rust often goes unmentioned unless it compromises structural integrity. Check the condition of the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, to ensure they have not perished due to the low annual mileage. Verify the brake disc surfaces for pitting or corrosion, which can occur when a car is not driven hard enough to keep the rotors clean. The record suggests a well-kept car, but a physical check for age-related degradation is necessary.
