Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a diesel SUV with a clean recent MOT record. The vehicle shows consistent usage and has avoided significant mechanical failures in its most recent inspections.
When considering this 2.2L diesel CX-5, focus on verifying the service intervals, particularly for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing chain components, which are important for this engine size. While the MOT history is currently clean, always request a stamped service book to confirm oil changes have been performed according to manufacturer schedules.
During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or steering, as these are common areas for attention in this model. Given the mileage is over 80,000, check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the health of the tyres, which are statistically common failure points for the CX-5 model aggregate.
As a 2191cc diesel, this CX-5 is designed for efficient long-distance cruising, though fuel costs will depend heavily on your annual mileage. You should check the specific Euro emissions standard to determine its suitability for Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) or Clean Air Zones.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve routine servicing and occasional attention to suspension components. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, factoring in diesel fuel, standard insurance groups for a mid-sized SUV, and typical maintenance requirements for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the suspension arms and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the CX-5. Inspect the tyres for even wear, as tyre issues are a frequent cause of MOT failures across the wider model sample.
Specifically for this vehicle, although the 2023 failure recorded no specific defects at the time of the report, you should inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or leaks. Ensure the diesel engine runs smoothly without excessive vibration, which can sometimes indicate injector or fuel system issues common in high-mileage diesel engines.
This 2016 silver Mazda CX-5 has covered 81,924 miles since its registration in July 2016. The MOT history shows a pattern of consistent annual testing, with the most recent three tests passing without any recorded defects. While it experienced one failure in July 2023 at 63,008 miles, the subsequent records suggest the vehicle has maintained a clean status through 2024 and 2025.
The Mazda CX-5 shows an average MOT pass rate of 85.0% across 59,700 analysed vehicles, with common failures typically relating to tyres, suspension arms, and coil springs.
