2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · EK65 ADX

The 2015 Mazda CX-5 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 2025-10-11 confirming full compliance at 86,117 miles. There are no recorded defects or advisories in any of the four available tests, including the duplicate entry for October 2023, which suggests the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards for emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. The absence of repeat failures or advisories on critical components—such as binding calipers, excessive corrosion, or suspension bush wear—indicates no obvious pattern of neglect or impending mechanical failure. However, the lack of advisories also means no prior warnings were issued for items like worn coil springs, differential leaks, or steering rack contamination, which could develop silently over time. Mileage progression reveals a steady but typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 7,800 miles annually. The gap between tests remains consistent at one year, with no unusual spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 2023 duplicate test on 2023-10-03, despite passing, is unusual but does not indicate mechanical issues—it may reflect administrative duplication rather than a retest. There is no evidence of aggressive driving or extended periods of disuse, which could have accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, or fuel system seals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT but critical for long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—for signs of uneven sag or cracking, as these are common failure points in this model. The brake system warrants close examination, including disc thickness, caliper binding, and rotor runout, even though no failures were recorded. Structural corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts, as rust can compromise wheel bearing housings and suspension mounts without immediate MOT consequences. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, especially around the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which are not always flagged until they affect emissions or structural integrity.
