Depreciation Insight
When evaluating what you can expect from the Mazda 3 depreciation curve, the data points are generally consistent with other midsize hatchbacks. The 2012 Mazda 3 typically loses:
- 15-20% of its value in the first year of ownership
- 25-30% after three years (depending on mileage and condition)
- 35-40% after five years (assuming average usage of about 15,000 miles per year)
These estimates include the influence of general wear and tear, the condition of the vehicle, and market demand in the second‑hand segment. For a well‑maintained 2012 Mazda 3 with a documented service history, the depreciation curve can be slightly flatter, especially if the car has kept to a moderate mileage range (under 100,000 miles).
