Dealer trade price tap to see what this means

A dealer buying this car to resell would pay around $23,481 ($22,481–$24,731), about $4,144 below the retail estimate above. That gap covers reconditioning, transport, statutory warranty and the dealer's margin.

It is not what this car is worth to a private buyer, and it is not a benchmark for a private sale.

Odometer Verification Summary

The current odometer reading is 95,881 km for a vehicle that is 7 years old. Verification points show that the NSW service records match, the OBD scanner reading has no record, the transmission display is not available, and the service logbook is complete and matches the odometer. The inspector's assessment indicates they are unsure about an odometer discrepancy. It is suggested to consider further verification due to the absence of an OBD scanner record and transmission display data.

Important Notice: Odometer verification is based on available sources and inspection findings. This verification is not legal evidence and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for purchase decisions. Professional mechanical inspection and legal verification are recommended.

Overall Assessment

The 2019 Mazda CX-5, displaying 95,881 km, performed well during the road test, with the engine and transmission operating normally. No major drivability concerns were identified.

The main mechanical items requiring attention are the minor timing cover oil leak, worn front and rear sway bar components, and the leaking rear shock absorber. The 12V battery is also weak and should be replaced, particularly as a vision/camera-related fault code may be associated with low battery voltage.

Cosmetically, the vehicle has a stone chip in the windscreen, minor body imperfections, and noticeable wear to the steering wheel and brake pedal. The key casing is also damaged.

Overall, the vehicle remains roadworthy, but the suspension repairs, weak battery, windscreen chip and timing cover seepage should be taken into consideration before purchase.
