2021 Mazda CX-5 Kuro Edition Auto 2.0L Petrol · EO71 LDZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward neglecting basic consumable upkeep. The most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 46,414 miles revealed multiple tyre-related defects. The tester flagged both rear tyres for cracking and perishing, along with an offside front inner tyre reaching the legal wear limit. These issues suggest that while the mechanical components are passing, the previous owner has delayed routine rubber maintenance until it reached failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 37,206 miles and the March 2026 test at 46,414 miles, the vehicle covered 9,208 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the seals and mechanical components within the automatic drivetrain. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 test noted worn front brake discs at 37,206 miles. Given the subsequent mileage increase, these components and the associated pads likely require immediate replacement or thorough checking for uneven wear. Furthermore, the perishing of the rear tyres noted in 2026 indicates that the rubber compound is degrading despite sufficient tread depth, necessitating a check of the suspension bushes and alignment to ensure the edge-wear observed on the front tyre was not caused by a mechanical fault or worn tracking components.
