2014 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · GY63 OKC

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unacceptable due to a persistent, worsening mechanical trend that has not improved since the most recent failure in April 2026. The MOT record demonstrates a critical deterioration in the braking system, specifically the rear brake disc, which has been failing significantly and obviously since the September 2023 test. This failure, coupled with thin front brake pads and near-side suspension bush wear, indicates that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance for over a decade. The most recent failure on the 113,759-mile test in August 2024 was not a temporary glitch but a confirmed structural defect in the front lower undertray, further confirming that the vehicle is in a state of imminent risk. The mileage pattern reveals a stark inconsistency between the vehicle's age and its operational history. The 2014 Mazda CX-5, which was approximately 12 years old on average, has accumulated roughly 119,877 miles, or about 9,990 miles annually. This is a massive accumulation for a vehicle of its age, suggesting that the owner has likely driven the car for only a single year and has never taken it out of the driveway for extended periods. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests is particularly alarming, as the vehicle failed on the 113,759-mile test in August 2024, whereas the 2022 test in August 2022 was passed. This rapid mileage increase since the 2022 inspection implies that the owner has likely driven the car for only a few months since then, leaving the vehicle in a state of constant, accelerating wear on critical components. Based on these findings, a buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to address the critical structural risks. The most immediate hazard is the failing rear brake disc, which requires replacement before the vehicle can be driven again. The front lower undertray must be inspected to determine if it is structurally sound or if it is likely to become detached, as this could lead to a blowout. Furthermore, the suspension bushings and pin wear indicate that the vehicle has not received any of the basic upkeep recommended for a 2014 model. If the vehicle is not serviced within the next few months, the likelihood of future failures on the brakes and suspension increases exponentially, making the vehicle a serious liability for the buyer.
