2016 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · GU16 ADX

This Mazda CX-5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate. The most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 85,195 miles was a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a trend of clean certificates dating back to February 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage pattern contains a significant anomaly that requires scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 54,911 miles in February 2022 and climbed to 101,601 miles by 3 March 2023, representing an unusual increase of over 46,000 miles in a single year. Following this spike, the mileage recorded in March 2024 dropped to 71,043 miles, and further decreased to 77,468 miles by February 2025. Such discrepancies in the official record typically indicate clerical errors during testing or a potential issue with the odometer. While the MOT history is devoid of mechanical failures, the lack of any recorded advisories over five years is atypical for a ten-year-old vehicle. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear that may have been overlooked or not flagged. Particular attention must be paid to the underbody for signs of corrosion, as the record provides no data on structural integrity. The primary concern remains the conflicting mileage data between 2022 and 2024. You should verify the current odometer reading against the service book to ensure the 85,195 miles recorded in March 2026 is accurate. If the mileage has been tampered with or incorrectly logged, it compromises the ability to predict when major drivetrain components or consumables will require replacement.
