2021 Mazda CX-30 2.0L Petrol · OU71 SVL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 26 September 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable as the vehicle has avoided major failures across its testing history. However, there is a persistent pattern of advisories relating to tyre wear and a newly emerging issue with the suspension, suggesting that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the current owner may be operating on a reactive rather than proactive maintenance schedule. With a recorded mileage of 44,174 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,835 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for a vehicle of this age and class, implying a balanced blend of urban and motorway driving. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine should still be in a healthy state, though the vehicle is entering a phase where standard wear and tear components, such as brake pads and suspension bushes, will require closer scrutiny. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recurring tyre advisories. The mention of tyres being worn on the edges in both 2024 and 2025 strongly indicates a potential wheel alignment or tracking issue. During a physical inspection, examine the tread depth across the full width of all four tyres to check for irregular wear patterns. On the test drive, ensure the vehicle does not pull to one side under light steering inputs and listen for any abnormal road noise that could indicate poor tyre geometry or premature wear. The reported oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber is a critical point for evaluation. While currently an advisory, oil leakage indicates a failing seal, which will eventually lead to reduced damping efficiency and compromised handling. During the test drive, listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces and observe if the rear of the vehicle exhibits excessive oscillation after a bump. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct intervals to maintain the longevity of the engine and drivetrain.
