2020 Mazda CX-30 2.0L Petrol · DX20 GXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding consumable wear-related components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 86,958 miles was a pass, the tester flagged thin front inner brake pads and a damaged nearside front tyre. This mirrors defects from the June 2024 test at 73,311 miles, where the same tyre and brake issues were identified alongside a low brake fluid reservoir. The repetition suggests that preventative maintenance has been deferred. The mileage profile is significantly high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 10,388 miles, followed by a sharper increase of 13,647 miles in the following year. This consistent high-mileage indicates heavy motorway use, which accelerates the degradation of the suspension bushings, drivetrain components, and braking hardware compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of thin pads and low fluid levels could indicate a slow leak or sticking calipers. The nearside front tyre requires immediate scrutiny for structural sidew damage that could lead to a blowout. Given the high mileage, an evaluation of the shock absorbers and rubber wear on control arm bushings is essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not reached the end of its functional life prematurely.
