2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · AE14 NTJ

The 2014 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 132,357 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed clean. A single failure on 22 March 2023 at 115,133 miles listed no defects, indicating a administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-based fail. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories across the record. Annual mileage averages close to 11,030 miles, typical for a twelve-year-old car. The gap between the 22 March 2023 failure and the 3 April 2023 pass covered only 2 miles, confirming a swift retest. From April 2023 to April 2026 the odometer advanced 17,222 miles, a steady 5,700-odd per year, with no sudden accumulation or long dormant periods suggesting neglect. The clean MOT history gives no flagged items for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given the age and UK winter road salt exposure. Verify service records confirm timing belt, transmission, and caliper condition beyond the MOT scope. Previous owners kept the car to a test-pass standard with no outstanding advisories carried forward. That implies basic upkeep was met, though absence of advisories at this mileage does not confirm consumables like tyres or wiper blades were replaced proactively. A pre-purchase check of actual tread depth and fluid levels remains sensible.
