MAZDA CX52012 · 2.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT in January 2026 was a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in March 2025, suggesting that the significant mechanical issues identified in early 2024 have been resolved. The 2024 MOT history shows a period of notable deterioration. The vehicle initially failed due to a major exhaust leak, a failed Lambda reading, and worn suspension ball joints. Even after passing, several issues were noted, including an oil leak, surface corrosion on the body and suspension, perishing tyres, a deteriorated CV boot, and pitted brake discs. The trend appears to be improving. After the cluster of failed tests and advisories in 2024, the subsequent two years of clean MOT results indicate that the vehicle has been maintained or repaired effectively to meet safety standards. With roughly 7,213 miles driven per year, the mileage is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. This level of usage suggests regular driving, though the 2024 records of tyre perishing and surface corrosion are consistent with the age of the vehicle. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the underside for any signs of the previously noted surface corrosion and checking for any fresh evidence of the oil leak mentioned in 2024.
