2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · AO66 FXP

An exemplary record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, having secured five consecutive MOT passes without a single defect or advisory recorded since October 2021. This consistent trend of clean certificates, including the most recent pass on 9 September 2025, indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high mechanical standard and has avoided the common degradation issues often seen in vehicles of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 47,769 miles is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,777 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation rate suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components have been subjected to significantly less stress than average, likely preserving the integrity of the engine mounts and gearbox internals. Given the absence of any recorded advisories regarding corrosion or wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the chassis and subframes remain free from surface rust, which can occur regardless of mileage in UK climates. During the test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the steering and the absence of any knocks or thumps from the suspension over uneven surfaces to confirm that the rubber bushes remain supple despite the low usage. Ensure the braking system operates linearly without any pedal judder or binding calipers, as these can occasionally develop on low-mileage vehicles. A thorough check of the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or leaks will complement the clean MOT history and provide final confirmation of the vehicle's mechanical integrity.
