2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · BB02 RLB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2025 at 89,337 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure due to an inoperative engine management light and an inability to complete emissions testing. These electronic failures were rectified quickly, yet the recurring presence of minor defects such as insecure fog lamps, reflectors, and deteriorating plates suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they are explicitly flagged during an annual examination. At 89,337 miles over 13 years, the CX-5 has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the significant gaps between tests, such as the 13,000-mile interval between 2022 and early 2024. However, the low mileage appears to coincide with age-related material degradation, evidenced by the repeated cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in 2024 and 2025, which indicates the vehicle likely sits for extended periods despite the distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a persistent history of wear, with offside front lower suspension arm bushes being flagged in 2022 and 2024, and track rod ends showing play in both 2020 and 2024. Furthermore, brake discs have been consistently noted as pitted, scored or worn from 2021 through 2024. The buyer should verify if these components have actually been replaced or merely monitored, as the recurring nature of these advisories suggests they are nearing the end of their functional life.
