2020 Mazda CX-5 Sport D 2.2L Diesel · FG51 CFA

The Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 26,462 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 10,894 miles at the 22 March 2023 test, rising to 16,190 by 8 March 2024, 21,361 by 18 March 2025, and 26,462 by 18 March 2026. That equates to roughly 4,400 miles per year, a consistent low-input pattern with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The sparse, fault-free history gives little to interrogate beyond the bare figures. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion means latent wear may simply be dormant rather than absent. Standing periods common to low-use vehicles can accelerate perishing of rubber components and seizing of calipers not caught in a static test. Verify underside structural integrity and check for moisture-related rust at the sills and subframes. Confirm the braking system operates without binding after prolonged inactivity, and scrutinise tyre sidewalls for age cracking irrespective of remaining tread. The MOT offers no cause for rejection, but it is not a substitute for a physical appraisal.
