2019 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · AX19 WYH

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 26 March 2026 at 90,428 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement. While the vehicle suffered from recurring advisory items and failures in previous years, the most recent inspection suggests that the underlying mechanical issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed. The mileage accumulation indicates a high-use pattern for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,918 miles per year. The records show consistent annual usage, with the mileage increasing from 23,830 in May 2021 to the current 90,428 miles. This steady progression suggests regular motorway or long-distance driving rather than short, infrequent trips. The rapid increase in mileage between the 2025 test at 77,664 miles and the 2026 test at 90,428 miles confirms this high-intensity usage pattern remains constant. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension system. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with both nearside and offside rear shock absorbers misting oil, a condition that appeared as early as April 2022 and continued through April 2025. Although the 2026 test shows no defects, the long-term presence of oil misting suggests the dampers have been nearing the end of their service life for several years. The history also reveals a pattern of neglected consumable items, specifically tyres and wiper blades. The vehicle failed in April 2023 due to perishing rear tyres and an ineffective windscreen wiper, and failed again in April 2024 due to a structural tear in the nearside rear tyre. These failures indicate that previous owners occasionally deferred basic maintenance until the vehicle reached a point of non-compliance. A thorough check of the current tyre tread, sidewall integrity, and suspension bushings is advised to ensure the recent clean MOT reflects actual mechanical health rather than just a temporary clearance of faults.
