Mazda 3 insurance groups and cost by driver’s age

The difference in costs between insurance groups can vary due to a number of different factors including your car’s performance, safety and security features, and cost of repair. For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £704 for cover on a Mazda 3 1.6 S 5d (insurance group 13), or around £613 for a Mazda 3 2.0 TS2 5d Auto which falls in insurance group 25. In this example, the Mazda 3 2.0 TS2 5d Auto is an extra £51 a year to insure compared to the Mazda 3 1.6 S 5d and is 12 insurance groups higher.

Which factors affect my Mazda 3 insurance rate?
Along with the insurance group, there are other key factors that impact your insurance premium costs:
- Engine type and capacity. The size and performance of the engine plays a big part in determining the insurance costs of a vehicle. In general, the bigger the engine, the higher the cost of your insurance. An average 30-year-old may pay £704 for the Mazda 3 1.6 TS2 5d, but could pay around £679 for the Mazda 3 2.2d (185bhp) Sport Nav (Leather) 5d. The difference in cost for the Mazda 3 model that has an engine 0.6 litres bigger, is an extra £112.
- Driver location. Your location is a huge factor when it comes to determining your insurance costs. Providers will look at personal accident and fraudulent claims in the area, how many uninsured drivers live there and also vandalism and car theft. For example, a 30-year-old in central London may pay £908 for insurance for a Mazda 3 2.0 Sport Nav 5d, while the same 30-year-old in Newcastle may only pay £706.
- Driver age. The younger you are, the more risk you represent to insurers, and the more you’re likely to pay for insurance. The average 20-year-old driver in London may pay £2,356 for the Mazda 3 2.0 TS2 5d Auto, while the average 40-year-old Londoner will only pay £798.
Other factors that influence the cost of your insurance include:
- Your marital status
- Your credit history and job
- Your car’s safety rating score
- The model of your car
- The age of your car
- Your car’s security and any extra anti-theft precautions
- Your car usage
- Your driving history and activity
