2022 Mazda CX-30 2.0L Petrol · YN22 LCY

A recent near‑miss on the rear tyre and an engine‑management warning dominate this CX‑30’s MOT story – the 13 March 2026 test recorded a major cut through the nearside rear tyre’s ply and an inoperative MIL, but both issues were remedied before the re‑test three days later, which returned a clean pass. Apart from that isolated failure, the vehicle has a spotless record with a clean pass in April 2025 and again in March 2026, indicating no recurring defects have been identified. At 42,096 mi after just under four years of age the average annual accumulation sits around 10,500 mi, which aligns with normal private‑use patterns and suggests no extreme wear cycles. The MOT dates are evenly spaced, showing the car has been regularly inspected without prolonged gaps that could mask hidden deterioration. Consequently, consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components are likely to be at a typical stage of life for a vehicle of this mileage, but the recent tyre cut highlights the need for a focused tyre inspection. Prospective buyers should give the rear tyre set a thorough visual and tactile check: look for any cuts, bulges or exposed cords on the sidewalls, verify tread depth is even across the wheel, and feel for vibration or thumping at higher speeds that could indicate internal damage. While the MIL warning was cleared for the latest test, it is prudent to confirm that the check‑engine light remains off on the dashboard, listen for any mis‑fires, rough idle or loss of power, and, if possible, have a diagnostic scan performed to ensure no lingering fault codes remain. Even though no other defects have been recorded, a sensible road‑test should still include standard checks: ensure the steering feels tight without play, listen for knocks over bumps that could betray worn suspension bushes, and test the brakes for consistent pedal feel and any pulsation that might hint at disc wear. Addressing these points will verify that the vehicle’s mechanical condition matches the clean MOT outcomes and that the earlier tyre and engine alerts have been fully resolved.
