Motorists who reduce costs by replacing worn car parts, rather than shelling out for brand new autos, may be impressed by the economical credentials of the latest Mazda model.

According to the manufacturer, the Mazda3 could help owners reduce their outgoings in a number of areas.

It claimed the vehicle boasts low CO2 emissions and strong fuel economy, which may assist drivers looking to cut the amount they spend on vehicle excise duty and at the pump.

On top of this, an independent survey has predicted second-hand versions of the car will attract relatively high prices, so owners may be able to make a tidy sum when the time comes to sell.

A number of experts said they expect the model to go for 35 per cent of its original price after three years or 60,000 miles.

However, motorists keen to reduce their outgoings may still find it is more cost-effective to simply replace worn parts on their current vehicle.

Drivers should be able to source a range of Mazda car spares online.
