The MAZDA 3 (2013-16) 4DR FASTBACK 2.0 SKYACTIV SS 120 EU5 SE-L AUTO6 is a family-sized petrol car with a sleek, booted fastback shape: more distinctive than a conventional hatchback, while still practical for everyday UK driving. It sits among mainstream small family cars, offering an alternative to the Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Vauxhall Astra, with a more stylish feel. The 2.0-litre engine and automatic gearbox make it a relaxed choice for commuting, school runs and longer journeys, and the SE-L trim brings useful comfort and convenience. Its roomy cabin and separate boot suit couples and small families, while its manageable size also works well for drivers who want an easy-to-live-with car without moving up to an SUV. Mycarcheck’s four checks across three VINs make figures indicative: average mileage is 62,000, annual use 11,000 miles, and private-sale value £5,000; keepers average 1.75, a modest sample, so check each car’s history.
