2019 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · DP69 OGZ

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-14 confirmed the vehicle passed with two recorded issues: the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and both rear brake discs worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. These defects were also noted in the prior failed MOT on 2026-04-13, which added the offside front brake pads being less than 1.5 mm thick—a critical safety concern. The repeated tyre and brake disc issues suggest ongoing wear or maintenance oversights. A pattern of tyre-related defects emerges, including worn edges, cuts, and near-limit tread depth, primarily affecting the offside front and rear tyres. Brake components show recurring problems, with rear discs consistently flagged for wear and front brake pads nearing replacement. These issues indicate potential neglect or heavy use, though no major structural or safety-critical faults were recorded in earlier MOTs. The trend shows some improvement: the 2026-04-14 MOT addressed the brake pad defect, but the same tyre and disc issues persisted. This suggests partial repairs were made, but underlying wear remains unresolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 46,557 miles over seven years averages 6,651 miles annually—a typical rate for its age. However, the recent drop in mileage growth (from 42,468 to 46,557 miles over 14 months) could reflect lighter use or periods of inactivity, though this is not explicitly confirmed.
