2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · AE14 WVT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 2 March 2026 at 68,261 miles. The recent inspection history displays a stable trend, with the last two consecutive annual tests resulting in passes with no recorded defects or advisories. While the 6 March 2025 record indicates a failure alongside a pass on the same day, the absence of specific defect data suggests a procedural error or an immediate rectification of a minor issue that was cleared within the same session. The recorded mileage of 68,261 over a twelve-year period equates to approximately 5,688 miles per annum. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. The consistent annual testing frequency since 2023 indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from age-related degradation regardless of low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these rubber and metal elements deteriorate over time. Given the vehicle's age, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for surface oxidation or uneven wear patterns. Check the structural integrity of the underside for any signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a comprehensive assessment of hidden chassis condition or the state of non-testable mechanical items such as the timing chain or transmission fluid health. Buying Score: 85 Risk Level: Low.
