2019 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · OW19 OGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in April 2026 at 37,029 miles. While the car consistently passes its tests, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglected consumable items rather than major mechanical failure. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to persistent tyre and brake issues suggests an owner who waits until components approach legal limits or failure before replacement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 37,029 miles represents a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,290 miles. The data shows a consistent but slow accumulation pattern, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between the September 2025 and April 2026 tests. This low mileage profile typically places less strain on the engine and gearbox, but it explains the presence of rubber perishing on the rear tyres, as tyres often age through oxidation faster than they wear down when vehicle use is low. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the physical condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 and 2026 tests both flagged cracking and perishing on the rear axle. The 2024 advisory regarding front tyres being worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that should be verified to prevent premature uneven wear. Furthermore, since the front brake pads were flagged as thin in 2023, a physical check of the remaining pad life and rotor condition is necessary to ensure they have been replaced and are not currently scoring the discs.
