2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · OW18 AET

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record across the last five annual tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 December 2025 at 110,092 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed potential issues before they reached failure status, maintaining the mechanical and structural integrity of the platform. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 13,700 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 70,529 miles and December 2024 at 100,657 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles in just thirty-nine months. This rapid accumulation suggests regular motorway driving, which typically results in less clutch wear wear compared to short city trips. The lack of gaps between test dates confirms the vehicle has been used regularly, preventing the brake fluid corrosion or seal seizing often associated with long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. At 110,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of fatigue or leakage. The braking system requires an assessment for thin discs or worn pads, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than remaining life. Given the mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion is also necessary to ensure the high-frequency use has not led to structural degradation in the mounting points or exhaust system.
