Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle has a consistent MOT history, it shows a recurring pattern of suspension wear and corrosion that will require ongoing attention.
Focus your negotiations on the current state of the tyres and the suspension. The most recent MOT (May 2026) lists three tyres as being worn close to the legal limit; replacing these will be an immediate cost for the new owner. Additionally, check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes, as the 2.2L diesel engine requires diligent maintenance at this mileage.
Ensure you verify that the track rod end replaced in May 2026 was fitted with a quality part. Given the recurring failures of ball joints and suspension arms over the last two years (2025 and 2026), it is worth asking if the vehicle has been used on rough terrain or poorly maintained roads, as this may explain the accelerated wear.
The 2.2L diesel engine offers a balance of torque and efficiency, though tax will be based on the 2013 CO2 emissions brackets. Insurance for the CX-5 is generally moderate, but the age of the vehicle means it may no longer qualify for some lower-cost comprehensive policies.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific car due to the documented suspension issues. Between the recurring ball joint replacements and the ongoing corrosion advisories, you should budget for more frequent underside inspections and potential component replacements.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside. The MOT history shows a persistent advisory for corroded rear suspension arms appearing in every test since May 2024; check if this corrosion has progressed beyond 'not seriously weakened'.
Inspect the tyres immediately, specifically the nearside front outer and both rear inner tyres, as these were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in May 2026. Finally, check for any play in the steering and suspension, as the vehicle has a history of major failures involving track rod ends and lower suspension arm ball joints in both 2025 and 2026.
This 2013 white Mazda CX-5 2.2L diesel has covered 127,133 miles over 13 years. The MOT history reveals a trend of suspension-related failures and persistent corrosion on the rear suspension arms. While it has passed its most recent test, the volume of advisories suggests a vehicle that is beginning to show its age.
Aggregate data is unavailable, but this specific vehicle demonstrates a vulnerability to suspension wear and chassis corrosion over time.
