2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · DC05 LAC

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 111,499 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle entered 2026 in sound mechanical condition. Prior to that, the July 2024 and July 2023 tests also passed cleanly, showing no worsening pattern of faults across the recorded history. Mileage sits at 111,499 against a 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,577 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The records show steady accumulation: 92,752 miles in January 2023, 96,368 by July 2023, 105,880 at the failed July 2024 attempt, and 106,147 six days later at the pass. A sparse but clean history gives limited visibility, though the gap between January and July 2023 of around 3,600 miles is unremarkable for private use. The only blemish is the failure on 24 July 2024 at 105,880 miles, where DVSA logged no specific defect against the entry. This suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass on 30 July 2024 at 106,147 miles. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the sequence. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by MOT, such as coil spring fatigue, binding calipers, and underbody rust. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the lack of advisories across five tests means wear limits on tyres and wipers went unflagged rather than confirmed sound. Verify service history to corroborate the absence of recorded defects.
