2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · GU16 ADZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 69,193 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the prior tests between 2024 and 2025 also passed without recorded issues, despite two instances of failed MOTs at the same mileage. This suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved minor faults that were later resolved, but no ongoing mechanical risks are indicated by the latest assessment. The mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating 6,919 miles yearly over 10 years. A notable gap exists between the 2024-03-19 test (52,684 miles) and the 2025-03-11 test (60,797 miles), reflecting 8,113 miles in 12 months, slightly above average. Subsequent growth to 69,193 miles by 2026-02-23 shows consistent but unremarkable wear. The absence of defects in the latest test supports that the vehicle’s systems are functioning within acceptable parameters for its age and usage. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as unrecorded wear could affect ride quality. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny, as minor issues might not trigger MOT failures but could impact safety. Corrosion in underbody areas, especially around the exhaust system, should also be checked, as higher mileage can accelerate degradation. The lack of advisories in recent tests does not preclude these checks, as MOTs focus on immediate roadworthiness rather than long-term maintenance needs.
