2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport D 2.2L Diesel · YM20 MDY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates an inconsistent approach to basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 35,427 miles passed without defects, it followed an immediate failure on the same day. The tester flagged an offside front tyre with exposed cords and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed tyre issues when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Between the August 2023 and the August 2024 tests, the car covered 8,721 miles, which then increased to 9,548 miles in the following year leading to the 2025 test. This relatively low total mileage generally translates to less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, the low annual usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or flat-spotting of tyres brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension alignment and bushes, as the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear in both 2024 and 2025 tests indicate a potential geometry issue or worn control arms. The brake discs should be checked for corrosion or pitting, common in low-mileage vehicles that used infrequently. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures in the powertrain, the primary focus remains on ensuring the current set of tyres is of quality and that the alignment is correctly set to prevent further premature wear.
