2017 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · NA17 AAE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass on 07 May 2025 at 97,023 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed just days later after a retest. This suggests that the previous owner addressed identified faults only when prompted by the legal testing requirement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance between the annual inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 67,546 miles and the 2024 test at 85,604 miles, the car covered 18,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of high annual use. However, the usage slowed significantly for the 11,419 miles recorded between April 2024 and May 2025. The total recorded mileage puts the CX-5 at a stage where typical wear on mechanical components, particularly suspension bushings and braking hardware, should be expected. Because the most recent MOT records show no recorded defects or advisories, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the components that typically fail on this model at this mileage. Focus on the rear wishbone bushes and control arms for signs of perished rubber, as these are common points of failure for the Mazda. Given the reactive nature of the service history, checking the brake discs for uneven wear and inspecting the calipers for signs of binding is also necessary. The lack of structural advisories in the latest test suggests the chassis is currently in good condition, or the tester did not deeply scrutinise the corrosion on the sills and mounting points.
