2023 Mazda CX-60 Homura Phev Auto 2.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · YA23 SSJ

The latest MOT test conducted on 4 March 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle currently meets all essential DVSA safety and environmental standards, showing a stable maintenance trend. For a vehicle of this age, a clean MOT history is a positive indicator of the car's structural integrity and the functional condition of its primary safety systems, including lighting, braking, and steering. The recorded mileage of 27,326 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 9,109 miles, which is entirely consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a modern family vehicle. This moderate level of accumulation implies that the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commercial use, nor has it likely suffered from the excessive degradation caused by long periods of total inactivity. The drivetrain and hybrid components should theoretically be well within their intended service life, provided that routine maintenance has been observed. As there are no documented defects to investigate, your physical inspection should focus on age-related consumables and potential issues arising from its usage profile. Closely inspect the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur even if tread depth remains high. Check for uneven tyre wear patterns that might suggest issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During the test drive, pay attention to the braking performance; listen for any signs of binding calipers or shuddering through the pedal, which could indicate uneven disc wear or sticking components. Furthermore, as this is a plug-in hybrid, it is vital to verify the service history to ensure that all time-based maintenance intervals have been met, particularly regarding engine oil and coolant changes. Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can lose capacity if the vehicle has been left standing for extended periods. Finally, listen for any subtle clunks or knocks from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, as this can be an early indicator of wear in the coil springs or control arm bushings that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory.
