2023 Mazda CX-30 SE-L LUX Mhev 2.0L Petrol · NJ72 YCV

The 2026‑02‑10 MOT at 35,171 miles resulted in a failure, rendering the vehicle not roadworthy until the flagged defects are corrected. No earlier tests are recorded, so a maintenance trend cannot be established; the single failure indicates a current issue rather than an improving or worsening pattern. The recorded mileage of 35,171 miles equates to roughly 11,724 miles per year for a three‑year‑old model, which aligns with typical usage for this age and does not reveal any anomalous gaps or rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore focus on the front brake assembly, where pads are noted as wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), indicating imminent pad replacement and potential disc wear; the headlamp aim being too high (4.1.2 (a)) suggests mis‑alignment that may affect visibility and should be verified. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs and binding calipers is advisable, as these components often exhibit wear at this mileage, and a visual check for structural rust or exhaust corrosion is essential given the vehicle’s age. If the front brakes have not been serviced since the previous test, the thin pads could compromise stopping performance, making a brake system overhaul a priority before purchase; addressing the headlamp aim and confirming the condition of suspension and structural components will help assess overall roadworthiness.
