2017 MAZDA CX-52.2L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-30 at 95,577 miles showed a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, a prior failure on 2025-07-23 at 95,563 miles—just a week earlier—without recorded defects suggests an anomaly in testing or administrative oversight. No recurring mechanical issues are evident from the record, and the absence of advisories or failures in prior tests implies consistent maintenance. The car’s condition appears satisfactory, though the recent failure without explanation warrants cautious scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with average usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,620 miles annually. A notable jump from 76,257 miles (2023-07-11) to 90,146 miles (2024-07-01) reflects a 14,000-mile increase in one year, followed by a slower accumulation of 5,431 miles by 2025. This pattern suggests variable usage but no extreme wear indicators. The MOT history is sparse in terms of defects, with no structural, braking, or emission issues flagged, which supports a baseline of functional integrity. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age, and inspect brake components for wear, as these are common wear points in CX-5 models. Corrosion checks on underbody panels and exhaust systems are advisable, especially if the car was exposed to coastal or de-iced roads. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the recent unexplained failure and lack of detailed defect reports mean a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
