Hi,
I just had the annual MOT (mandatory safety inspection in the UK) and it was pointed out to me that both rear dampers have a light misting of oil - not a failure as the damping was within spec. The car (2013 2.2D AWD) has only done 21k miles of mostly gentle driving - all mine. A couple of journeys with the boot full of suitcases.
The agent said I was the second CX5 this month with the same issue, the other car had only 11k miles!
Anyone else experienced leaking shocks at such low mileage?
I've always thought the damping was crap anyway from new - as in it didn't damp much at all and was hopeless dealing with bumps and pot holes.
