2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport D 2.2L Diesel · CD64 AVA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 72,440 miles, it had failed just two days prior at 72,152 miles. This failure revealed a missing fixing on the offside front road wheel and critical tyre wear on both rear axles, indicating a lack of pre-test inspection or oversight by the previous owner. At 72,440 miles over six years, this CX-5 has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a modern diesel car. The data shows a significant surge in usage between September 2024 at 48,605 miles and September 2025 at 72,152 miles, covering over 23,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation places accelerated stress on suspension components and braking systems, consistent with the worn state of the tyres noted in the most recent records. A buyer must physically inspect the offside front wheel to ensure the missing fixing was replaced with the correct specification and not a generic substitute. The recurring mention of fluctuating front brakes at 33,203 miles and thin rear pads later suggests the braking system may be nearing a major service interval. Given the high annual mileage and the reported edge wear on the rear tyres, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and wheel alignment is essential to rule out geometry issues that may have caused uneven tyre degradation.
