Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
When inspecting this specific 2.2L diesel CX-5, pay close attention to the suspension components. The MOT history for DG62PSY shows repeated issues with suspension arms, bushes, and ball joints across 2024 and 2026. Ensure that the recent offside front ball joint replacement has been documented with a receipt.
Given the mileage is well above average for a 2012 vehicle, check for any signs of heavy wear in the interior and ensure the service history is complete. Negotiate on the basis of the high mileage and the documented pattern of suspension maintenance required to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
As a 2191cc diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy and potential emissions-related maintenance common in this engine size. Tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific trim level, but the large engine size typically places it in a mid-range insurance bracket.
Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be between £1,600 and £2,100, factoring in the higher-than-average mileage which will necessitate more frequent servicing and component replacements.
Focus heavily on the front suspension. The MOT history shows a near-side bush issue in 2024 and an offside ball joint failure in 2026. A thorough test drive is essential to check for knocking or clunking sounds from the front end which could indicate further worn bushes or joints.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded a rear inner tyre worn close to the legal limit, which suggests potential alignment issues or uneven wear patterns. Inspect the tread depth across all four tyres and check for any signs of camber wear.
This 2012 blue Mazda CX-5 diesel has covered 114,704 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,917 miles per year. The MOT history shows a trend of suspension wear, specifically involving arm bushes and ball joints, alongside a tyre wear advisory in 2025. The most recent test in June 2026 required a ball joint replacement to pass.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and tyres being common failure points across the fleet.
