2021 Mazda CX-5 Kuro Edition 2.0L Petrol · SN71 HMA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on October 24 2025 at 37,675 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical defects identified in the previous year have been addressed. The absence of any advisories in the most recent test indicates that the owner responded to the previous faults to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 28,382 miles and the October 2025 test at 37,675 miles, the car covered 9,293 miles. This suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals and braking system components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system to ensure the 2024 failures were rectified with quality components. The previous record flagged thin front and rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored rear discs. While the 2025 pass suggests these were replaced, a manual check should look for binding calipers or uneven pad wear which might indicate a lingering hydraulic issue. Given the relatively low mileage, the suspension bushes should also be visually inspected for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as these can degrade even on low-mileage vehicles due to age.
