2022 Mazda CX-5 Sport Edition Auto 2.0L Petrol · YB72 AAO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test on 27 November 2025 at 39,061 miles, the immediate failure on that same day indicates that critical safety components were neglected until they reached legal limits. The trend shows a stable but minimal maintenance approach, where the owner only addressed faults when forced by a failing MOT test result. At 39,061 miles over four years, the CX-5 averages approximately 9,765 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK annual mileage and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive high-speed running. The most recent record is very current, occurring only seven months prior to the present date, which means the mechanical state of the vehicle is likely accurately represented, provided the repairs following the November failure were executed correctly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The failure in November 2025 flagged thin front brake pads and significantly worn discs alongside pitted and scored rear discs. Although these were replaced to achieve passing, the presence of pitting on the rear discs often suggests long periods of sitting or binding calipers which can lead to uneven wear. The buyer should also check the remaining tyres for even wear, as the previous failure noted edge wear on both front tyres. The record also highlights that both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and on the edge. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. While the defective nearside front wiper blade is a minor consumable fault, the combination of worn metal and rubber components suggests the previous owner ignored routine service intervals until the MOT deadline. An inspection of the brake fluid condition and caliper corrosion is recommended to ensure no hidden leaks exist.
