Our Verdict
Highly recommended purchase. This CX-5 shows a remarkably clean MOT record with below-average mileage for its age, making it a solid choice for a diesel SUV.
When inspecting this CX-5, verify that the service history is consistent with the 2.2 diesel engine requirements, as these require regular oil changes to maintain turbo health. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of dry-rotting on rubber components which can sometimes occur on vehicles used primarily for short trips.
Pay close attention to the suspension, as aggregate data for this model identifies suspension arms and coil springs as common failure points. While this specific vehicle has no recent advisories, a thorough test drive is essential to ensure the ride remains composed and free from knocks or clunks.
The 2.2L diesel engine is efficient for long-distance cruising, likely offering competitive fuel economy compared to petrol counterparts. Owners should budget for the specific tax band associated with this engine size and insurance groups which typically sit in the mid-range for SUVs.
Annual running costs are estimated between £1,200 and £1,600, accounting for fuel, tax, and routine maintenance. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for Mazda, provided scheduled intervals are followed.
Focus on the tyres first, as they are the leading cause of failures across the CX-5 fleet; ensure there is even wear and sufficient tread depth. Inspect the undercarriage for any signs of corrosion or wear on the suspension arms, which are known weak points for this generation.
Review the 2023 MOT failure at 60,055 miles; although the specific defect was not listed in the summary provided, ensure the service records reflect the work done to pass that test. The absence of advisories in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained recently.
This 2016 Mazda CX-5 features a 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 77,569 miles, which is significantly lower than the fleet average of over 80,000 miles per year. The MOT history is impressive, with only one failure recorded in early 2023 which was immediately rectified, and no defects noted across the last three consecutive tests.
The CX-5 is generally reliable, though the 2.2 diesel engine requires diligent maintenance, and suspension components are noted as a common point of wear across the model.
