2022 Mazda Cx 30 SE L MHEV
CarHunch analysed 350 real MOT records for the 2022 Mazda Cx 30 SE L MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Mazda CX-30 SE-L MHEV is a genuinely reliable prospect, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.4%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 6.3% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects, which is reassuringly low. Failures are rare at just 0.11 per vehicle on average, suggesting this generation has few structural weak points.
At 22,651 miles median mileage, these cars are still relatively young and lightly used, which partly explains the strong pass rate, though even accounting for that the advisory rate of 1.2 per vehicle is very manageable. If you're considering one, check the service history carefully and budget for routine wear items like brake pads and filters, but don't expect expensive surprises—this is a straightforward, well-built compact SUV.
What to check before buying a 2022 Mazda Cx 30 SE L MHEV
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
