2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · DD06 TAT

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 65,475 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage has tracked close to typical use for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 28,165 miles at the 15 March 2022 test, rising to 34,963 by 8 March 2023, 42,686 by 6 March 2024, 53,351 by 11 March 2025, and 65,475 by 20 March 2026. This equates to roughly 8,000 to 12,000 miles added each year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, listing zero advisories across all five entries, which suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT sheet does not exempt the car from age-related wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or underbody corrosion that a visual test may not capture. Given the low defect history, focus the viewing on tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions rather than structural repair. The absence of failed tests or repeated advisories implies disciplined ownership rather than deferred maintenance. Treat the 65,475-mile figure as genuine given the steady yearly increments. Verify service records alongside this MOT trail to confirm fluid changes and cambelt intervals match the mileage.
