2018 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · FJ68 HPY

The September 2025 MOT at 37,086 miles confirms the Mazda CX‑5 is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a pass outcome, indicating a stable maintenance record. Previous tests from 2021 through 2024 also showed passes with no defects, reinforcing consistency. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual rise from 10,530 miles in September 2021 to 37,086 miles in September 2025, averaging about 4,600 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s eight‑year age. Notably, the increase accelerated in 2024 and 2025, with jumps of roughly 3,900 and 9,700 miles respectively, suggesting the car has been driven more intensively in recent years while earlier periods reflect lighter use. The interval between the 2021 and 2022 tests spans roughly a year, and the 2022 to 2023 interval is similarly brief, but no evidence of missed inspections appears in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the tyre condition flagged in the August 2024 test, examining tread depth, sidewall cracking and perishing, and consider replacement if needed. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable, as is a close look at the brake discs, pads and calipers for any binding or uneven wear. Finally, a visual and tactile assessment of the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, and verification of exhaust emission levels complete the due‑diligence checklist.
