Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify recent maintenance. This 2016 Mazda CX-5 shows a consistent MOT history with no recurring defects in its most recent tests.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, check that the recent MOT pass in February 2026 was accompanied by any necessary servicing, particularly given the mileage is now over 73,000. Since the 2025 failure occurred at 65,931 miles, ask the seller for documentation regarding what was repaired to resolve that specific failure.
For this 2016 petrol model, ensure you check the service history for regular oil changes to protect the 1998cc engine. Although the MOT history is relatively clean, always verify the physical condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are statistically common failure points for the CX-5 model across the wider fleet.
As a 2.0L petrol SUV, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but you should budget for typical SUV consumption. Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 CX-5 vary based on specific trim levels, but expect mid-range insurance premiums.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should account for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. Given the aggregate data for this model, budget for occasional suspension-related maintenance as the vehicle ages.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and tyres. Aggregate data for the Mazda CX-5 indicates that suspension arms, coil springs, and tyres are the most frequent reasons for MOT failures. Even though this vehicle passed its 2026 test with no defects, these components are subject to wear.
Check the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and sidewall integrity, and listen for any knocking or clunking sounds from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces. Given the 2025 failure at 65,931 miles, confirm that the issue was addressed and hasn't recurred.
This white 2.0L petrol Mazda CX-5 (HT16SGX) has covered 73,404 miles as of February 2026. The MOT history shows a steady pattern of testing, with the most recent two tests passing without any recorded defects. While there was a failure recorded in February 2025 at 65,931 miles, it was rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day.
The Mazda CX-5 has an 85% average MOT pass rate based on an analysis of 59,700 vehicles, with common failures related to tyres and suspension.
