2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · DA63 EBZ

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 31 July 2023 at 114,040 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 19 November 2021 at 101,612 miles also showed a clean sheet. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening mechanical faults surfacing across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 114,040 against a 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,772 miles per year, which is typical for this age of vehicle. The gap between the November 2021 test at 101,612 miles and the July 2023 test at 114,040 miles covers only 12,428 miles over twenty months, indicating light use in that period. A notable anomaly appears on 23 August 2022 when the tester issued a fail at 106,399 miles yet logged no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage; this suggests an administrative or procedural error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. The sparse DVSA data shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside rust given the vehicle's age, as MOT cleanliness does not preclude latent wear. Verify the front and rear brake calipers for binding and check tyre tread depth, since the 2022 duplicate entry offers no assurance of consumable condition. Given the clean test history and ordinary mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The August 2022 failed-then-passed sequence warrants a request for the original test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect. Absent physical inspection, the record alone supports a sound roadworthy status for the date of its last test.
