2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LB67 TWZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 6 January 2026 at 93,962 miles with no defects recorded. The trend from 2023 onwards shows a pattern of failing on tyre tread and worn brake components, but the current clean result indicates those issues were rectified before the 2025 and 2026 tests. The 2025 test at 81,444 miles also passed cleanly, despite a failed test just two days prior at the same mileage for insufficient offside front tyre tread. This rectification suggests the previous owner addressed the tyre concerns promptly to restore roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation averages roughly 11,745 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in the MOT history between 2021 and 2026, indicating consistent annual compliance. The 2023 and 2024 tests both showed brake discs and pads approaching the limits of serviceability, yet the vehicle continued to pass. This implies the owner deferred replacement of consumable items, as brake pads and discs were noted as 'wearing thin' or 'worn, but not excessively' rather than being replaced immediately. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs and pads closely, as they have been flagged as worn or thin across multiple tests from 2024 to 2025. The rear brake discs have been described as worn, pitted, or scored since at least February 2022, which can compromise braking efficiency if the surface becomes uneven. While the tyres were rectified by January 2025, the persistent scoring on the brake discs warrants a physical check for warping or significant surface damage that might require replacement sooner than expected.
