Mazda 3 axela

Worth knowing

• Above-average kilometres: 200,000 km, high whatever its age. Ask for the service history, and when the timing belt and clutch were last done.
• 50,000 km more than similar cars for sale, which have about 150,000 km.
• An older car: 15 years old. Cars over ten years need an NCT every year, and repairs and parts weigh more in what it costs to keep.
• The NCT runs out in November 2026: budget for the test and any repairs it asks for.
