2021 Mazda CX-5 Kuro Edition 2.0L Petrol · YA21 GNT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 30,928 miles flagged multiple advisories including a worn offside front suspension arm bush and two front tyres reaching the legal tread limit. While the vehicle passed, the transition from brake-related issues to suspension and tyre wear suggests that components are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds. At 30,928 miles over five years, the Mazda CX-5 has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate residential usage. The gap of 8,585 miles between the August 2024 test and the July 2025 test shows consistent usage patterns. This low mileage generally implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the presence of worn suspension bushes and pitted discs suggests the vehicle may have suffered from environmental degradation despite the short driven distances. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension geometry to determine if the worn bush has progressed to the point of causing uneven tyre wear. The 2024 record at 22,343 miles noted thin pads and scored discs; therefore, the buyer should verify if the front braking system has been fully overhauled since that date. Given the 2025 advisory regarding worn tyres, checking the current depth and matching brands across all four tyres is essential to ensure no immediate expenditure is required post-purchase.
