Our Verdict
A strong, well-maintained example of a premium SUV with low mileage and a relatively clean history. It is a highly recommended choice for those seeking a spec-heavy vehicle without mechanical red flags.
When inspecting this CX-5, verify that the service history is up to date, particularly for the 2488cc engine as oil changes are vital for the longevity of these larger naturally aspirated units. Pay close attention to the tyres; the most recent 2025 MOT noted both front tyres were worn on the edge, which could indicate a need for a wheel alignment or suggest spirited driving.
Since this is the GT Sport trim, ensure all electronic features—such as the infotainment and driver assistance systems—are functioning correctly. The AWD system is robust, but check for any unusual noises during tight turns during the test drive. Given the low mileage, you should expect the automatic gearbox to be shifting smoothly.
The 2.5L petrol engine offers performance but is less economical than smaller turbocharged rivals; expect around 30-35 mpg in real-world conditions. As a Euro 6 vehicle, it is compliant with ULEZ zones, though the tax band will be mid-range due to the engine size.
Insurance groups for the GT Sport trim are typically moderate due to the high spec and AWD system. Maintenance costs are standard for a Japanese SUV, though you should budget for premium tyres given the vehicle's performance profile.
Focus your inspection on the front end components. The 2024 MOT noted thin front brake pads, and the 2025 MOT highlighted uneven tyre wear on the front. Check that these have been replaced and that the current tyres show even wear to prevent premature replacement.
Check the headlamp alignment, as this failed in 2024; ensure the units are now correctly aligned. Additionally, inspect the underbody for any signs of stone chips, which are common on AWD vehicles, though no structural issues were noted in the history.
This 2021 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport AWD is in excellent condition, having covered just over 34,000 miles in five years, which is significantly below the average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent record with only one minor failure related to headlamp alignment, which was easily rectified. The 2.5-litre petrol engine combined with AWD suggests a high-performance, capable family car that has been well-cared for.
The Mazda CX-5 is widely regarded for its mechanical reliability, particularly the SkyActiv petrol engines which avoid the complexity of turbochargers where.
