2018 Mazda CX-5 Sport NAV D Auto 2.2L Diesel · CSZ 1598

This Mazda CX-5 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, all of which passed without fail. The most recent inspection on 17 December 2024—just under seven months ago—confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or major mechanical failures in the record, suggesting the car has been subjected to either regular servicing or has inherently reliable components. However, the absence of defects does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT testing parameters, such as gradual suspension bush degradation or subtle drivetrain wear. The mileage progression indicates a steady usage pattern, averaging around 7,100 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests align closely with the MOT cycle: 18,463 miles between May 2022 and June 2023, and 16,410 miles between June 2023 and December 2024. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended storage without maintenance. While this consistency is reassuring, the lack of service records means potential wear—such as brake pad life or suspension alignment—remains unverified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and strut mounts, as these are prone to fatigue over 56,000 miles. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant closer examination: check for uneven pad wear, binding calipers, or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has experienced aggressive driving. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, for signs of corrosion or impact damage. Tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, while not MOT-failed here, should be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been overlooked.
