2019 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · AM05 POP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 31,427 miles recorded a failure for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows an advisory from October 2024 at 24,163 miles regarding thin front outer brake pads. While the vehicle passes its tests, these entries indicate that components are only addressed once they reach critical thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2025, where the car covered roughly 19,000 miles over three years. The jump of 7,264 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests steady driving patterns, though low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and brake caliper seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the edge wear noted in the 2025 test suggests a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The braking system requires a thorough physical check to ensure the discs have not become scored, following the previous advisory for thin pads. Given the low annual mileage, one should also check for corrosion on the exhaust and brake lines, as low-use vehicles are often prone to moisture-induced rust that high-mileage cars avoid.
