2019 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · YN19 TXS

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards mechanical wear-related issues. While the car passed its tests between 2021 and 2024 without defects, the September 2025 test at 64,818 miles revealed multiple advisories concerning the front suspension geometry. This suggests a trend of aging components where rubber bushes and protective boots are now reaching the end of their operational life. The mileage profile is consistent with typical UK usage, averaging approximately 9,260 miles per year over the seven-year period. Between the October 2024 test at 54,604 miles and the September 2025 test at 64,818 miles, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in eleven months. This steady accumulation explains the appearance of wear on suspension arm bushes and ball joint dust covers in the latest record, as these components have been subjected to regular road stresses rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The 2025 record flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside alongside severely deteriorated dust covers on the ball joints. If these boots are not replaced, moisture ingress will quickly degrade the joints, leading to premature failure and steering instability. The buyer should also verify the nearside rear tyre for the nail mentioned in the latest advisory and ensure the nearside front mirror is securely fastened to prevent vibration or detachment during driving.
