2019 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · DF68 HFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. In the most recent test on February 2026 at 75,905 miles, the car failed initially due to both front brake pads being below the 1.5mm legal limit. While it passed immediately upon re-test, this failure indicates that the owner waits for components to reach the point of failure before intervening rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with no significant gaps in testing that suggest long periods of stagnation. Between the January 2023 test at 63,951 miles and the February 2026 test at 75,905 miles, the vehicle accumulated 11,954 miles. This linear accumulation suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing seal of rubber components and brake-related corrosion issues. A buyer should focus their attention on the braking system during a physical inspection. The records from 2024 and 2025 repeatedly flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both front and rear axles, which combined with the recent pad failure, suggests the entire braking assembly may be nearing the end of its effective life. You should check the current disc surfaces for deep grooving or thinning that would require replacement to ensure stopping performance. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a perished nearside rear tyre suggests that age-related rubber degradation may be present on other sidewalls, regardless of remaining tread depth.
