2011 Mazda 3 1.6 Petrol

Considering buying the above car, anything to be particularly concerned about? It's covered 61k miles, main dealer wants 5695 for it. It's the Takuya edition. I've had a 2.0 petrol gen 1 face-lift 6 since 2011 and it's been a great car but will be 12 years old next March.

Nothing to worry about but the price seems a bit high:

Or for £200 more you could get a 2013 with less than 20k on the clock.

Just to update the thread, I had a drive of the 3 and found it was a bit under powered and also the body condition was a rougher than expected. The inside was quite nice though and it did handle well.

I then had a drive of a 2011 6 2.0 which I found to be very good to drive. The condition was better, few more toys, nearly 20k less miles so it looks like I'll be buying that one.
