2022 Mazda CX-5 Sport Edition Auto 2.0L Petrol · YN72 LSZ

The most recent MOT test, completed on 14 August 2025, resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle met all required safety and environmental standards at the time of inspection. While the single pass suggests a stable current condition, the absence of a long-term testing history means we cannot establish a definitive trend regarding the progression of wear on specific components. The recorded mileage of 7,419 miles is significantly below the national average for a four-year-old vehicle, representing an annual usage rate of approximately 1,855 miles. While this low mileage implies minimal mechanical stress on the engine and automatic transmission, it strongly suggests the vehicle has been subject to extended periods of inactivity. Such usage profiles can lead to specific maintenance challenges that differ from high-mileage vehicles, where components fail due to friction and heat rather than chemical degradation or lack of lubrication. Given the low usage, a thorough physical inspection is essential to identify issues related to standing. You should inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber can degrade over time even if the tread depth remains high. It is also vital to check the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting and to listen for any binding or shuddering during the test drive, which may indicate that the calipers have become seized or the pistons have stuck due to inactivity. Furthermore, you should verify the condition of the 12V battery, as infrequent driving often fails to provide a full charge, potentially leading to reduced electrical reliability. Because many automotive fluids are subject to time-based degradation, you must confirm that the engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than solely based on mileage. Finally, check the service history for evidence of these time-based service stamps to ensure the vehicle's mechanical integrity has been maintained despite the low mileage.
