2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · DA16 EJO

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-02-11 assessment at 148,879 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also showed passing results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though high mileage remains a factor for further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 148,879 miles at 10 years old equates to an average of 14,888 miles annually, which is above the typical usage for its age. The MOT records show steady progression, with each test occurring approximately 12 months apart and mileage increasing by roughly 10,000–12,000 miles per year. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. This pattern aligns with moderate to heavy usage, which may accelerate wear on components like tyres, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage can degrade these parts without triggering MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these issues may develop over time. Additionally, the exhaust system and corrosion on underbody panels warrant attention, as these are common areas affected by prolonged use. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the condition of non-MOT-checked components.
