2021 Mazda CX-30 2.0L Petrol · LS71 XRR

This Mazda CX-30 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with both recent tests—conducted on 4 December 2025 and 30 November 2024—resulting in clean passes at 44,792 and 37,256 miles respectively. The absence of defects or advisories in either test suggests the vehicle has undergone no recurring mechanical failures, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The most recent test, just over seven months ago, aligns with the DVSA’s recommended 12-month interval for this model, though the next due date (4 December 2026) is now overdue by nearly five months. Buyers should verify whether the current owner has arranged a test or if the vehicle has been driven without one, as prolonged operation beyond the MOT expiry could indicate neglect. The recorded mileage of 44,792 miles at five years old reflects a steady usage pattern of approximately 8,958 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in mileage between tests, ruling out either extreme underuse or rapid wear. However, the lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means there is no confirmation of regular servicing or component replacements—critical for components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and timing belt (if applicable). The absence of advisories in the most recent test does not confirm these have been attended to. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity , particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items not always flagged until failure. The brakes, while not explicitly tested for wear in the MOT, should be assessed for uneven pad thickness, glazed discs, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven beyond the 2025 expiry. Corrosion is another concern—check wheel arches, subframe, and sills for pitting or structural weakening, as this model is susceptible to rust in high-salt regions. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or sagging hangers, as these often develop between MOT intervals. The absence of defects in recent tests does not guarantee these areas remain sound.
