2020 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · LS20 KMJ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent 2026-03-10 MOT at 23,732 miles confirming no defects. Previous tests from 2025-03-18 (19,647 miles) and 2024-02-26 (15,506 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date as the 2024-02-26 MOT recorded no defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance, but the lack of recorded faults may indicate minimal wear or incomplete testing. The absence of advisories or critical failures implies the owner prioritized basic maintenance, though low mileage raises questions about long-term component integrity. Mileage progression shows consistent, low usage: 11,712 miles in 2023, rising to 15,506 by 2024, 19,647 by 2025, and 23,732 in 2026. This equates to approximately 3,955 miles annually, significantly below average for a six-year-old vehicle. Such low mileage could reflect infrequent use or prolonged storage, increasing risks of corrosion, fluid degradation, and dry-rotted rubber components. The 2024-02-26 test, coinciding with the same mileage as the failed MOT, lacks explanatory details, leaving uncertainty about the cause of the failure. A buyer should inspect for age-related issues common in low-mileage vehicles, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, which may degrade without regular use. Check brake discs for uneven wear and exhaust emissions for anomalies, as prolonged inactivity can affect these systems. Despite the clean MOT history, the vehicle’s low mileage and sparse data suggest a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden mechanical or structural faults.
