2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport 2.0L Petrol · KM70 BUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 48,427 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for offside rear brake discs being pitted and scored. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates the onset of surface corrosion or wear on the braking system that will require attention soon to prevent poor stopping performance or future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 at 32,701 miles and October 2024 at 41,241 miles, the car covered roughly 8,500 miles, showing steady usage. This low annual mileage is generally beneficial for the drivetrain and suspension components, but the MOT record suggests the vehicle may have sat for short periods which often contributes to the brake disc corrosion seen in more recent intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside drive shaft area, as this component caused a failure in 2024 due to a bearing fault. Although this was rectified, a physical check should ensure there is no play in the joint or grease leaking from the boot. The 2023 record also flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit and on the edge, suggesting potential issues with wheel alignment or incorrect tyre pressures. The current tyre wear patterns should be verified to ensure these issues have not returned.
