2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · VK66 ABX

The vehicle demonstrates an exemplary maintenance trend, achieving five consecutive clean passes with zero recorded defects or advisories. The most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 at 61,598 miles confirms the car remains in a stable, roadworthy condition. This consistent absence of failure points suggests the previous owner adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, addressing mechanical requirements before they reached the threshold of an MOT failure. The recorded mileage of 61,598 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,160 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate usage for a crossover of this class. The progression of mileage is linear and predictable, with an average of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles added between each annual test. This steady usage pattern indicates the vehicle has likely been used for regular short-to-medium distance commuting rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often leads to seized calipers or degraded rubber components. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components that do not always trigger an immediate test failure but impact long-term reliability. Prioritise an examination of the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs for signs of fatigue or surface corrosion, as these are common wear items on the CX-5 platform. Check the brake discs for lip formation and inner-face corrosion, as low annual mileage can occasionally lead to surface oxidation if the vehicle is stored in a damp environment. Verify that the electronic parking brake operates smoothly and releases without resistance, as this is a known area of concern for this model generation.
