2021 Mazda Mx 30 GT Sport Tech EV

CarHunch analysed 680 real MOT records for the 2021 Mazda Mx 30 GT Sport Tech EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Mazda MX-30 is a genuinely reliable first-time MOT performer, passing at 94% against the UK average of 80%—that's a significant 14-point advantage. Dangerous defects are rare, turning up in only 6.2% of vehicles tested, so structural and safety issues aren't a buyer concern with this model.

The median mileage of 20,367 miles is exactly what you'd expect for a three-year-old car, and the low failure rate of 0.16 per vehicle tells you these EVs are holding up well mechanically. When shopping for a used MX-30, focus your inspection on the routine advisories (averaging 1.7 per car—typically minor wear items) rather than worrying about major mechanical surprises.

What to check before buying a 2021 Mazda Mx 30 GT Sport Tech EV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
