2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport 2.0L Petrol · OU70 LZB

The September 2025 MOT at 45,207 miles passed, confirming the Mazda CX‑5 remains roadworthy, though the front brake disc showed wear and the rear brake pads were thin. No new defects appeared since the 2024 tyre replacement, indicating a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 22,555 miles in September 2023 to 33,007 miles a year later, a gain of 10,452 miles, and then to 45,207 miles by September 2025, an additional 12,200 miles, showing consistent annual usage typical for a six‑year‑old vehicle. The 2024 failure concerned only the rear tyres, which were replaced before the next test. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for play, inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or excessive wear, and look for any structural rust or damage around the wheel arches where the tyre cuts were recorded. Checking the condition of the exhaust, chassis integrity and current tyre tread will also reveal whether the previous defects have been fully remedied.
