2021 Mazda CX-30 SE-L Mhev 2.0L Petrol · SJ21 AFW

The 2025‑07‑16 MOT at 24,537 miles confirms the Mazda CX‑30 remains roadworthy, with the tester marking the vehicle as passed and no structural or emission failures recorded. The only noted faults concern the rear brake discs, which show pitting or scoring but are not seriously weakened, and the near‑side rear brake pads are described as wearing thin; these issues are consistent with normal wear rather than a worsening trend. Mileage accumulation shows a marked increase between the 2024‑07‑15 test (13,111 miles) and the 2025‑07‑16 test, representing roughly 11,400 miles in a single year, well above the vehicle’s historical average of about 4,900 miles per year and suggesting more intensive use in the intervening period. Overall mileage remains low relative to the car’s five‑year age, indicating lighter use for much of its life. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear brake assembly closely, verifying pad thickness, disc condition, and the operation of the calipers for any binding; the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers merit attention for wear or corrosion, as do the wheel arches and underbody for rust that could affect structural integrity. While the car’s low overall mileage indicates relatively gentle use, the recent acceleration in mileage and the recurring brake wear imply that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake components may have been neglected; a thorough pre‑purchase check of these items, together with a review of service history, will confirm whether the vehicle can be maintained reliably.
