2022 Mazda CX-30 Sport LUX Mhev Auto 2.0L Petrol · AY72 KNG

This vehicle presents a very recent roadworthiness profile with minimal recorded history, reflecting its low accumulated mileage. The single recorded test on 22 August 2025 resulted in a pass, with the only recorded defect being a minor advisory regarding light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical wear or failure over its operational life, maintaining a clean structural and safety status. With a recorded mileage of 17,802 miles as of the current date, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 4,450 miles per year, which classifies as low usage for a four-year-old model. This low annual accumulation suggests that major wear items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres are likely to retain significant remaining life. However, prolonged periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to specific issues like flat-spotting on tyres or battery discharge, though the current MOT record shows no evidence of these problems. The primary mechanical concern flagged in the history is the offside rear shock absorber, which exhibited light oil misting. While this is a common issue often caused by minor seal degradation rather than immediate failure, it warrants a physical inspection to ensure no active fluid leaks are present. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the rear suspension over bumps and check the rear dampers for visible wetness or oil residue on the bodywork, as excessive leakage can compromise ride comfort and handling stability. Given the scarcity of MOT data, the vehicle has not demonstrated any major structural or safety failures, such as brake pipe corrosion, steering lock issues, or dangerous exhaust emissions. The absence of advisories related to lighting, tyres, or brakes suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents these common failure points. Prospective buyers should prioritize confirming the service history to ensure all manufacturer-recommended maintenance has been adhered to, as the current roadworthiness record is too limited to fully assess long-term reliability.
