2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · FH18 WMC

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 May 2025 at 37,748 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since the earliest entry in this history. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 17,592 miles at the 7 June 2021 test, rising to 25,111 by 11 May 2022, 32,140 by 9 May 2023, 35,448 by 2 May 2024, and 37,748 by 1 May 2025. That equates to roughly 4,700 miles per year. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the low, steady figures suggest light commuting or extended standing periods rather than neglected high-use abuse. No advisories or failures appear across the five tests, so the history gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A clean sheet does not certify condition, only that the tester found nothing reportable on the day. The low mileage and likely periods of inactivity raise the prospect of perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake discs from standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, suspension arm bushes, and caliper freedom before purchase. Verify service history matches the low mileage, and check for tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The MOT record alone supports a favourable view, but it is not a substitute for hands-on examination.
