2012 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · AF62 VOV

The 2012 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 January 2025 at 107,786 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 July 2023 at 95,550 miles that was immediately retested and passed the next day with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 107,786 over roughly fourteen years, averaging about 7,700 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's age. The records show steady annual use: 85,789 miles in August 2022, 95,550 by July 2023, 102,876 by July 2024, and 107,786 by January 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. The clean advisory columns across all entries suggest the previous owner kept on top of consumables and avoided presenting the car with worn tyres, failed emissions, or corroded structure. Given the absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or underbody corrosion, the MOT history implies sound structural integrity and consistent upkeep. A single same-week fail with no defect listed offers no evidence of recurring mechanical neglect. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common CX-5 wear points, namely rear suspension arms, binding calipers, and sill rust, since the MOT only captures test-day condition and not latent fatigue. The sparse but clean record means a buyer cannot rely on advisories to guide checks. Verify service history matches the 7,700-mile annual pattern and confirm the January 2025 test was a proper annual rather than a correction of the 2023 anomaly. With no recorded faults across five years, the vehicle shows no worsening trend and remains a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint.
