2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · AV63 AAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 47 128 miles, yet it carries two advisories concerning rear brake discs that are worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 (a)(ii)) and front tyres showing slight damage, cracking and edge wear (5.2.3 (d)(ii) and (e)). The maintenance trend is stable rather than improving; brake‑disc wear has appeared in every annual test since 2022, while front‑tyre condition has deteriorated from minor cracking in 2018‑2019 to cuts and near‑legal‑limit wear by 2025, indicating that basic upkeep such as tyre rotation and pressure management was intermittently neglected. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a 13‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 3 600 miles per year, which is low and suggests light use or periods of storage. The last two examinations were completed on consecutive days in November 2025, implying that the owner addressed the brake‑disc and tyre faults promptly before the second test. Earlier records show a steady rise: 33 784 miles in 2022, 38 012 miles in 2023, 43 055 miles in 2024 and the current 47 128 miles, with annual MOTs consistently recorded throughout the period. A buyer should inspect the rear brake discs for pitting and scoring, check front brake pads and discs for uneven wear, and examine both front tyres for cracks, cuts and edge wear. The recurring tyre damage raises the possibility of alignment or suspension issues, so a visual check of suspension bushes and a ride‑height assessment is advisable. Additionally, look for any under‑body corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the exhaust mounting points, as the low mileage does not guarantee freedom from rust. The overall picture is a mechanically sound vehicle that has been kept within legal limits but requires attention to brake‑disc condition and front‑tyre health before it can be considered fully problem‑free. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on those areas will confirm whether the car’s low‑mileage advantage outweighs the need for remedial work.
