2022 Mazda MX-30 SE-L LUX EV Electricity · LK71 MDO

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-09 confirmed the vehicle passed, but noted wear on both front and rear brake discs, described as "worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened." This mirrors findings from the 2025-01-17 MOT, which identified similar issues across all four brake discs, along with a child seat fitting that obstructed inspection of an adult seatbelt. These recurring brake disc defects suggest a consistent pattern of surface wear, likely due to normal use or driving conditions. The trend in brake disc condition appears stable rather than worsening. Both MOTs classify the wear as non-critical, indicating the discs remain structurally sound. However, the repetition of this issue across multiple inspections raises questions about potential underlying factors, such as driving habits, brake component quality, or maintenance practices. No new safety-critical faults were recorded in the latest MOT, which is reassuring. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,701 miles over four years equates to roughly 10,925 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy wear from high mileage. However, the brake disc wear could indicate moderate use or frequent stop-and-go driving, which accelerates disc degradation. The absence of other major faults in the MOT history implies the vehicle has been well-maintained overall.
