2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · FJ68 KHX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the October 2025 test at 38,191 miles. This recent result shows an improvement over the previous year, where several tyre-related issues were noted. The absence of any defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components monitored by the tester are currently meeting minimum standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,774 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual progression, moving from 14,857 miles in October 2021 to 38,191 miles by October 2025. This low-usage pattern typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher averages, though long periods of inactivity between annual tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and alignment during a physical inspection. The October 2023 test at 26,070 miles flagged inner edge wear on both the offside and nearside front tyres. This pattern often indicates an incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. While the subsequent tests recorded no new defects, the underlying cause of that uneven wear should be verified to prevent premature replacement of any new tyres.
