What the Mazda 3 figures say
The biggest single step down is into 2015: the median asks 28.8% less than the model year above it, on 7 listings.
It is down to half its 2018 asking price by the 2014 model year, 4 years of age.
At about 18.3% a year it falls faster than the typical model tracked here, which loses 14% a year.
Mazda 3 depreciation: common questions
How much does a Mazda 3 lose in a year?
About 18.3% of its asking price a year, fitted across the 4 model years with three or more DoneDeal listings (R² 0.97). That is an average over the whole curve: the first years fall harder than the later ones, which is what the value-kept column above shows year by year.
Where do these Mazda 3 figures come from?
From 32 public DoneDeal listings recorded by DD Price Tracker, grouped by model year. They are asking prices, not sale prices: what sellers want for the car, which is the number a buyer negotiates down from. Nothing about a seller is stored.
