Our Verdict
A solid purchase option for those seekin
When inspecting this specific Grey CX-30, your primary focus should be confirming that the issues identified in the April 2025 MOT have been fully resolved. Specifically, ask for receipts or evidence that the front and rear brake discs, the nearside front tyre, and the rear tyres were replaced.
Furthermore, the 2024 and 2025 MOT records both noted light oil misting on the nearside and offside rear shock absorbers. While the 2026 MOT passed with no defects, you should visually inspect the rear suspension area for any signs of fresh oil leakage. Finally, ensure the service history aligns with the mileage to confirm the 2.0L petrol engine has been maintained according to Mazda's requirements.
As a 2.0L petrol MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle), the CX-30 offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though it will be more expensive to run than smaller-capacity turbocharged rivals. Tax bands for this model are generally moderate, and the Euro 6AP status ensures compliance with most UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve standard servicing, but the 2025 MOT history highlights that consumables like tyres and brake discs are notable expenses to budget for. Expect an annual running cost to include fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically averaging around £1,400-£1,700 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Start by examining the braking system; the 2025 MOT specifically flagged both front and rear discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. Check for smooth braking without pulsation, which could indicate the discs were not replaced or were poorly fitted.
Next, inspect the tyres. The 2025 record noted a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and an offside rear tyre with cracking or perishing. Check the tread depth and look for sidewall cracking on all four tyres to ensure they are relatively new. Lastly, check the rear shock absorbers for any sign of 'misting' or oil residue, as this was a recurring advisory in both 2024 and 2025.
This 2021 Mazda CX-30 SE-L LUX MHEV has covered 42,018 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 7,608 miles per year. While the MOT history shows several advisories in 2025 regarding brakes, tyres, and shock absorbers, the most recent test in May 2026 recorded no defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues flagged in the previous year have likely been addressed.
The Mazda CX-30 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 91.9% across 4,153 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally robust build quality.
