2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · BL65 OBW

The latest MOT on 12 February 2026 at 113,777 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. Compared with the preceding tests, the vehicle shows an improving trend, although earlier tests highlighted persistent issues that have been addressed or have fallen below the DVSA threshold. The car has accumulated 113,777 miles over 11 years, averaging 10,343 miles per year. The mileage increments between successive MOTs are consistent, with no sudden spikes. The most recent jump from 113,400 to 113,777 miles over five months is typical. The record reveals recurring concerns with tyre wear approaching the legal limit, suspension dust covers deteriorating, headlamp and fog lamp security, and wiper blade condition. The 2025 tests flagged near‑side and off‑side front tyres worn to 2–3 mm, and the 2024–2025 tests repeatedly noted the front lower suspension arm ball‑joint dust covers failing to prevent ingress of dirt. The 2020 test recorded a binding rear brake disc and thin front brake pads. These items warrant a detailed visual inspection and functional test. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front lower suspension arm bushings and ball‑joint dust covers, confirm that all headlamps, fog lamps and registration plate lamps are secure and functional, and check that the wiper blades and rear wipers are in good condition. Tyres should be inspected for tread depth and sidewall integrity, and the brake system should be tested for disc wear and caliper operation. Also, a visual check for corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points is advisable.
