2019 Mazda Cx-3 2.0L Petrol · YN69 KXX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 79,021 miles. While the latest pass result is clean, the failure recorded just seven days prior indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance regarding consumable components. The overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, but the 2026 failure suggests that critical items are only addressed when forced by an official test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with standard usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 59,716 miles in November 2023 to 79,021 miles in February 2026. There is a notable gap of nearly 15,000 miles between the November 2024 and February 2026 tests, suggesting the vehicle has seen increased use recently, which typically helps prevent internal corrosion-related issues in the drivetrain and braking system. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the February 2026 failure flagged both front discs as pitted and scored, alongside pads below the 1.5mm legal limit. While these were replaced to secure the subsequent pass, the condition of the discs suggests the previous owner ignored brake wear until it reached unsafe levels. The buyer should also check the nearside rear tyre for perishing or cracking, as the previous tester identified material degradation that often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The headlamp alignment should be verified to ensure it was correctly adjusted after the 2026 failure. Since the MOT history shows no structural defects or suspension advisories in previous years, the focus should remain on the state of the rubber components and the quality of the brake fluid. The vehicle shows no signs of mechanical neglect, but the recent brake failure highlights a reactive rather than preventative approach to servicing the front of the car.
