What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (4.4%) and lighting & signalling (2.2%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, wipers and washers — headlamp aim alone was recorded 26 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2022 CX-60 fails 5.7% of the time in the 0-30k band and 2.9% at 60-90k, a spread of only 2.8 points.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 25.5% of tests without failing them.

What to check before buying a 2022 CX-60
On a 2022 CX-60, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 4.4% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (4.4% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (2.2% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Visibility (0.9% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
