2020 Mazda CX-5 SE-L 2.0L Petrol · BK70 LFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention regarding basic consumables. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 24,405 miles passed without failures, it flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates a pattern of waiting until components are near the point of failure before replacing them, rather than following a proactive maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual testing, moving from 14,722 miles in September 2023 to 19,781 miles in 2024, and finally 24,405 miles in 2025. However, the low usage appears to correlate with rubber degradation, as evidenced by the 2024 advisory for perished and splitting tyres and the 2023 note regarding cracking perishing despite low tread depth. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and rubber components to ensure these issues have been fully addressed. The 2023 test noted thin front brake pads, so the current state of the discs and pads must be verified for glazing or excessive thinning. Given the low mileage and history of perished rubber, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or corrosion on the suspension bushings, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
