2016 MAZDA CX-52.2L Diesel

The Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 1 August 2025 at 69,271 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recent history. The only blemish is a failed test on 18 July 2025 at 69,235 miles that recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a fault-driven failure. Every other annual examination returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the previous keeper addressed requirements before each test. Mileage sat at 52,170 in March 2023, rose to 56,861 by April 2024, then 59,305 in July 2024, and reached 69,271 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 6,900 miles per year against a ten-year lifespan, a typical figure for the age. The jump of nearly 10,000 miles between July 2024 and August 2025 is the largest single interval, but still within normal use. No long dormant periods or abrupt accumulation show in the sparse but clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's decade of service. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. Previous owners clearly kept the car to test standard, though the unexplained July 2025 failure warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason. Given the absence of recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers, consumable wear appears managed. The low defect count implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
