2019 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · DF68 HFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 53,681 miles passed, it flagged defects related to the rear braking system and lighting, specifically thin rear brake pads and pitted discs. This mirrors a previous failure in January 2024 where the front brakes and tyres were both below legal limits, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach a point of failure or legal threshold. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 8,000 miles between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests, followed by another 7,800 miles leading to the 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, though the presence of perishing on front tyres noted in 2024 indicates that the rubber components may be suffering due to age despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a recurring trend of worn pads and scored discs across both front and rear axles. The tester noted the rear discs as pitted and scored in the latest report, which often indicates long periods of inactivity or lack of lubrication. Additionally, the condition of the windscreen wipers should be verified, as they failed inspection in early 2025 for poor clearing performance. The nearsside rear reflector and lamp glass also require immediate attention as they were specifically flagged as insecure or broken in the most recent test.
