2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · EN64 AEV

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-01-06 MOT at 62,939 miles. The prior three annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also showed no failures, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed MOT on 2024-01-23 at 53,311 miles—mirroring the subsequent pass on 2024-01-24—suggests a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved before retesting. No structural, braking, or emission concerns were flagged in the recorded history, supporting the conclusion of a mechanically sound vehicle. The mileage of 62,939 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 5,722 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, suspension, and brake system. Notably, the 2023-01-23 test at 48,319 miles and the 2024-01-24 test at 53,311 miles show a 5,000-mile gap, raising questions about the vehicle’s operational history. The absence of wear-related defects in the MOT records does not preclude hidden issues from extended idleness, such as corrosion or seized moving parts. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask gradual degradation. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, which can occur with infrequent use. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the records, so a thorough underbody examination for rust or damage is advised. While the MOT history reflects no critical failures, the vehicle’s low mileage and sparse testing intervals warrant careful evaluation of its mechanical condition beyond documented data.
