2023 Mazda CX-5 Takumi Mhev Auto 2.0L Petrol · JO13 LEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record highlights a specific mechanical concern regarding the braking system. The tester issued an advisory noting that the nearside rear brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored. While this did not meet the threshold for a failure, it indicates the onset of surface corrosion or material degradation that requires monitoring to prevent thinning. At 9,260 miles, this 2023 Mazda CX-5 has covered significantly less distance than the national average, averaging 3,087 miles per year. This low usage suggests light operation, which typically reduces the wear on mechanical components like suspension bushes and drivetrain assemblies. However, low-mileage vehicles are often prone to brake disc de-scoring if they remain stationary for extended periods, which likely explains the pitting recorded on the nearside rear during the February test. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all brake components to ensure the noted pitting has not progressed into structural thinning of the disc. Given the vehicle is relatively new and has only one recorded entry, there is limited data regarding long-term structural integrity or exhaust emissions performance. Focus should remain on verifying that the low mileage is consistent with a service history and that the infrequent use has not led to flat-spot tyres or seized calipers.
