Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeking a low-mileage diesel SUV. This specific 2018 Mazda CX-5 has a remarkably consistent MOT record with no recorded defects over five years of testing.
When inspecting this specific 2018 diesel model, prioritise verifying the service history to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been maintained, especially given the relatively low annual mileage which can sometimes lead to soot buildup in diesel engines. Check that the timing belt/chain requirements for the 2191cc engine have been addressed according to Mazda's schedule.
During your physical inspection, look for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension noise, as these are common failure points for the CX-5 across the wider fleet. While this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, negotiating based on the age of the tyres or the upcoming service interval is a sensible approach.
As a 2.2L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy, which is generally efficient for a vehicle of this size on long-distance journeys. You should check the specific tax band for this 2018 registration, as diesel taxation rules have evolved recently.
Insurance groups for the CX-5 vary depending on trim level, but the 2.2L engine typically sits in a mid-range group. Maintenance costs should be predictable, though you should budget for specialist diesel component servicing. Estimated annual running costs typically fall within the £1,200-£1,600 range depending on usage and insurance profile.
Although this vehicle has a clean MOT history with no recorded failures, you should remain vigilant regarding common CX-5 issues identified in the wider model data. Specifically, inspect the tyres, suspension arms, and coil springs, as these are the top reasons for MOT failures across the 59,700 vehicles analysed in this model's aggregate data.
Additionally, because this is a diesel engine with relatively low annual mileage (approx. 4,500 miles), inspect the exhaust system and check for any signs of DPF regeneration issues. Check the brake pads and discs, as low-use vehicles can sometimes experience surface corrosion.
This red 2.2L diesel Mazda CX-5 has covered 45,767 miles as of its last MOT in April 2026. The vehicle's history shows a steady increase in mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the model aggregate average of 7,903 miles. With five consecutive MOT passes and zero defects recorded since 2022, the documented history is exceptionally clean.
The Mazda CX-5 shows an 85% average MOT pass rate across the fleet, with common mechanical issues typically relating to tyres and suspension components.
