2021 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport Auto 2.0L Petrol · VX21 JVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 44,464 miles indicates the car passed despite having a worn front brake disc and a damaged windscreen. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the appearance of wear-related faults in recent tests suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life and require scheduled attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 28,568 miles and the February 2025 test at 36,844 miles, the car covered 8,276 miles, reflecting steady typical usage. This low accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress or long periods of standing, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals. A prospective buyer should focus specifically on the braking system and tyre condition during an in-person inspection. The February 2025 test flagged both rear inner tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures. Given that the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2026, the buyer must verify the remaining thickness of the pads and check for uneven scoring or glazing on the rotors. Additionally, the recurring advisory regarding the child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection in 2024 and 2025 suggests the previous owner may have overlooked minor safety checks, which warrants a thorough review of the interior and safety hardware.
