Insurance rating class (Germany)
Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable
GDV rating class: Mazda3
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), Mazda3 has KH 13-20 (scale 10-25), VK 11-22 (scale 10-34), TK 13-23 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 65 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
Inspections by country and age
This table shows, per age, how many cars of this model fail inspection, by country. An index of 100 is that country's average for that age.
| Age | Netherlands | United Kingdom | Czechia | Ireland | NO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 18.8% failed (1077 of 5739) | 14.7% failed (2507 of 17029) | No data | 19% failed (53 of 279) | Too few inspections |
| 6-8 years | 29% failed (2050 of 7069) | 23.7% failed (6672 of 28162) | No data | 32.2% failed (398 of 1236) | 30.1% failed (199 of 661) |

| 12-14 years | 41.9% failed (3096 of 7382) | 40.5% failed (7047 of 17383) | No data | 57.8% failed (1071 of 1854) | 58.5% failed (292 of 499) |
| 15-19 years | 50.2% failed (7229 of 14392) | 46.8% failed (11526 of 24647) | No data | 66.5% failed (2073 of 3116) | 70.1% failed (780 of 1112) |

| 25-30 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
Czechia only counts serious defects, severity B or C. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway count every inspection with a real defect.
Finland is not in this table. Finland counts defect points, not cars with a defect.
