| Not Ranked : 0 score My 07 Mazdaspeed 3 just had the VVT recall performed today because of a loose chain. Don't shit yourself but I just rolled over to 30k miles. I do however drive my car hard.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Pull the valve cover and inspect it. It should take no more than 3 hours if you haven't spent too much time under the hood. I am at 58k and bought it JAN 2012. Never had any chain / VVT work done. I don't have any start-up noises but pulled valve cover to inspect the chain. Looked good. You aren't guaranteed to have an issue with the VVT / Timing Chain but are guaranteed to have to change your oil. In that respect, though the odds are against you. Do you have start-up rattle noise? (There is noise coming from VVT, not to be confused with a failed VVT).
