2019 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · K5 GEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding brake component care. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 36,055 miles, the tester flagged the front brake pads as wearing thin excessively low. This represents a progression from the February 2025 test at 29,211 miles, where the pads were already noted as wearing thin. This recurring issue suggests the owner has neglected routine brake inspections despite the passing MOT results. The mileage profile is low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,150 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered only 3,088 miles in two years. However, there was a significant spike in activity between March 2024 and March 2026, with 13,889 miles driven. While the low total mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the recent increase in usage correlates with the appearance of mechanical faults in the records. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment due to the inner shoulder wear recorded in March 2024 at 22,166 miles. This uneven tyre wear often indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the consistent degradation of the front brake pads requires an immediate physical check of the brake discs for scoring or glazing caused by prolonged use. Check the offside rear tyre to ensure the previous nail noted in 2025 did not result in structural damage to the sidewall.
