2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · DC14 AEE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-20 at 106,686 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date shows a prior failure at 106,683 miles with no defects noted, suggesting a procedural anomaly or minor technicality rather than a mechanical issue. The 2024-12-05 test at 101,354 miles and the 2023-10-11 tests at 88,752 miles also passed without defects, confirming consistent compliance. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the record, though the lack of detailed defect reporting limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,686 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 8,890 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The 2023-10-11 tests at 88,752 miles and the 2024-12-05 test at 101,354 miles show a 12,602-mile increase over 14 months, followed by a slower 5,332-mile rise to 106,686 by 2025-11-20. This pattern suggests steady, moderate usage without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The MOT history is relatively clean, with no evidence of repeated failures or escalating issues, though the absence of defect details in failed tests limits insight into potential underlying problems. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items in this model. The absence of brake-related defects in the record is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is recommended. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be checked, as these are critical for long-term reliability. The MOT history does not flag specific concerns, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase examination of its mechanical and bodywork condition.
