2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · CF63 UAP

The latest MOT test on 22 December 2025 resulted in a pass, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections over the last three years. While the records indicate failures immediately preceding the passes in 2024 and 2025, the absence of documented recurring defects or lingering advisories suggests that any issues encountered were minor and rectified promptly, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a standard sufficient for roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 139,571 miles over approximately 13 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,736 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. This consistent mileage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle, which generally helps maintain engine health and prevents rubber seals from drying out. However, at nearly 140,000 miles, the vehicle has reached a threshold where significant wear on long-term consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain is expected. Since the MOT history is remarkably clean of advisories, the buyer must focus on physical inspections that a standard MOT may not highlight. Given the high mileage, particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade and lose elasticity over time. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces and check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misalignment or worn steering rack components. The brake system should be scrutinized for pedal feel and any shuddering under heavy braking, which would suggest warped brake discs or binding calipers. Furthermore, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure that time-critical maintenance has been performed. At this mileage, the condition of the gearbox and differential oils is critical, as is the state of the cooling system hoses and the 12V battery health. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, even if the tread depth remains legal, as older rubber loses its grip and structural integrity. Finally, a thorough inspection of the underbody and wheel arches is recommended to check for corrosion, as these are common areas for oxidation on vehicles of this vintage regardless of their MOT pass status.
