2012 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · JB10 CKD

The 2012 Mazda CX-5 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 November 2025 at 69,873 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 November 2024 at 65,857 miles shows the vehicle has remained free of advisories or faults for over a year. The history indicates no worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Recorded mileage stands at 69,873 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,991 miles per year which is low for this model age. The DVSA entries show steady annual use: 61,785 miles on 22 November 2023, rising to 65,857 by November 2024 and 69,873 by November 2025, a consistent circa 4,000-mile yearly increment with no sudden accumulation. The sparse record contains only two failed tests on consecutive days in 2023 and 2024, both with no defects logged, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify structural integrity and corrosion on the underside, sills, and suspension mounting points given the vehicle's age and the possibility of prolonged standing inferred from low mileage. The clean advisories mean suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and exhaust emissions carry no flagged concern, yet these consumable items warrant physical inspection for age-related degradation not captured by the pass results. The repeated next-day passes after initial failures suggest the prior owner corrected minor paperwork or test anomalies promptly, reflecting adequate if not meticulous upkeep. Given the absent defect history, the CX-5 shows a favourable record, but an independent inspection of braking and suspension function remains prudent before purchase.
