Oh 52k miles? must be nice. So far the car runs like a dream. Previous owners really babied this car. I think ill change spark plugs after the CPO runs out next November, i don't want to void it. The rotors and pads were changed last October so those are good for a while.
If there is one thing i learned with the Mazda is that preventative maintenance goes a LOOOONG way. Interestingly enough, as i was researching this car i found a list on Forbes that had the X5 as one of the worst used cars to buy.
I know there are things to replace on this car before they go bad and cause other problems, but im not sure what or where to start. Suspension wear you say? ill check that out.
