AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2016 Mazda has 9 MOT tests on record with a 89% pass rate and 9,039 miles. The car's low annual usage and a 2024 MOT gap, combined with a 2024 coolant leak advisory, suggest potential underlying issues.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: 9,039 miles in March 2019, then only 29,931 miles by October 2023, and a further 9,693 miles by February 2026, indicating very low usage or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 38,624 miles over 10 years (expected 87,166 miles).
  • Significant 2024 service gap: No MOT recorded between Oct 2023 and Feb 2025.
  • Coolant leak advisory noted in Oct 2023 — a known Mazda 3 weakness.

Working in its favour

  • Strong MOT record: 8 of 9 tests passed, with no dangerous defects recorded.
  • Recent MOT pass: Valid MOT until February 2027, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Low annual mileage: Consistent low usage suggests light driving and less wear.
  • No recurring major failures: Single failure in 2022 was immediately rectified.
