Looking at a CX-30?
Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.
Wondering whether one particular CX-30 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.
Is the CX-30 disappearing?
43,823 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the CX-30 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 467% in the five years since 2021 Q1.
A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.
When it shows up in the statistics
Mazda CX-30 first appears in the published DfT series in 2019 Q4. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
CX-30 MOT pass rate
In 2024, 91.9% of 2,966 Mazda CX-30 MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average.
- Condition — 2.4% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
- Mechanical Brake Components — 1.2% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
- Headlamp Aim — 1.2% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
- Wipers — 1.1% of tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
