Looking for a used Mazda 3?

Are you thinking of buying a used medium sized family car? The Mazda 3 is a solid choice. AutoUncle showcases a total of 643 cars gathered from numerous dealership websites and online marketplaces.

How much does a used Mazda 3 go for?

Currently, the prices for a pre-owned Mazda 3 start at £2,349 and go up to £25,830.

The used car price for a Mazda 3 can differ widely and depends on five main factors: what year the car is from, engine size and performance, fuel economy, how many miles the car has travelled as well as the vehicle's equipment variant.

For example, a car that's younger with fewer miles on the odometer will typically command a higher price. Similarly, models at the higher end boasting luxurious features or more powerful engines tend to come with a heftier price tag than, for example, an older model with more kilometres driven or with a lower equipment level.

How many equipment variants are there for the Mazda 3?

When evaluating the costs of pre-owned Mazda 3, it is crucial that you exclusively compare with the offers of cars with the same engine and equipment. If you don't, you might end up reaching a wrong decision on which car to purchase.

Which fuel options are available for Mazda 3?

Petrol ranks as the top fuel type for the Mazda 3.

Mazda 3 is available with the following fuel types:

• Mazda 3 petrol: 583 cars currently available with an average price of £14,078
• Mazda 3 diesel: 45 cars currently available with an average price of £4,649
• Mazda 3 hybrid: Currently there is 15 cars available on AutoUncle with an average price of £13,344

It's essential to take into account your driving habits when determining the right fuel type. Do you frequently drive within city limits or on broader highways and motorways? What's the average number of miles you drive weekly?

If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. For very long daily driving without charging options, a diesel car can still be relevant. Keep in mind that certain countries have bans on high-emission diesel engines entering their cities.
