Our Verdict
A strong contender for high-mileage drivers with a very clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is higher than average for its age, the lack of recurring defects suggests a functional maintenance history.
When inspecting this specific CX-5, verify the service history to ensure the 219cc diesel engine has been maintained according to intervals, as these units are sensitive to oil quality. Given the higher mileage, specifically check the condition of the clutch and flywheel if it is a manual, as these are common wear items on vehicles approaching this bracket.
Look for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as suspension-related issues are a known failure point for the CX-5 model. Since the vehicle failed an MOT in 2024 but passed immediately on the same day, ask the owner what the specific defect was to ensure the repair was carried out properly.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for efficiency at cruising speeds, making it cost-effective for high annual mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy compared to smaller petrol variants, though the tax band and insurance group will vary based on the specific trim level and BHP.
Maintenance costs are typical for a Japanese SUV, but buyers should budget for potential suspension components given the model's aggregate data. Estimated annual running costs sit between £1,200 and £1,600, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; aggregate data indicates that suspension arms and coil springs are frequent failure points for this model. Check for any knocking sounds when driving over bumps or visible wear on the rubber bushings.
Review the 2024 MOT failure recorded at 75,717 miles. Although the record provided does not list the specific defect, you should verify with the seller whether it was related to tyres or suspension—the two most common issues for this vehicle—to ensure it isn't a recurring problem.
This 2016 Mazda CX-5 has covered approximately 88,567 miles, which is significantly higher than the fleet average of roughly 7,900 miles per year for this model. However, the MOT history is remarkably consistent, with the most recent test in August 2025 showing no defects at all. The 2.2L diesel engine remains a robust choice for those requiring frequent long-distance motorway travel.
The CX-5 generally holds a good reputation, though the 2.2 diesel engines require strict maintenance schedules to avoid diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues.
