2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · CX13 PAW

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 100,688 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 22 April 2024 at 90,825 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a fail logged on 19 April 2024 at 90,824 miles with no defects recorded, reversed three days later by a pass, which points to an administrative or test-process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 70,988 miles in May 2022, rising to 81,843 by May 2023, then 90,825 in April 2024, and 100,688 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year across the captured period, marginally above the 7,745 annual average implied by the total. The DVSA history is sparse but clean between pass dates, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition despite the absent advisories. The lack of flagged wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades across five tests suggests either diligent pre-test rectification or limited tester scrutiny. Given the age and 100,688 miles, expect natural degradation of dampers, exhaust emissions components, and bushing compliance not yet captured by MOT thresholds. The April 2024 fail-with-no-defects event warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason code if available, though the immediate pass implies no lasting concern. Previous keepers maintained test compliance but left no documented pattern of recurring mechanical intervention. Pre-purchase examination of binding calipers, subframe rust, and drivetrain leaks remains prudent.
