2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · FP18 XBK

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 49,404 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Recorded mileage sits at 49,404 miles against roughly eight years of age, equating to about 6,176 miles per year and reflecting typical private use. The odometer moved from 38,814 miles at the 8 April 2022 test to 44,570 miles at the 4 April 2023 failure, then 44,729 miles eight days later, 47,187 miles by 8 May 2024, and 49,404 miles by May 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 2,000 and 6,000 miles with no sudden jumps. The only blemish is the 4 April 2023 failure, which the DVSA record lists with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly on 12 April 2023. Given the clean pass history and absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across all tests, the buyer faces low apparent mechanical risk from the record alone. The sparse entry set means the history offers limited insight into wear on consumables, so the lack of tyre or wiper advisories should not be read as proof of fresh parts. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath, check for latent corrosion on sills and subframes, and measure brake disc wear and suspension bush condition in person. The early-2023 failure with no listed defect warrants a check of the original test centre paperwork to rule out any omitted fault, though the immediate clean pass suggests the matter was resolved.
