2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · JR05 AMS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 80,440 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. Following a single failure in late 2022, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that the owner has addressed previous issues and maintained the car effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2022 and March 2024, during which the car covered 17,251 miles. Since then, the usage has stabilised, with roughly 5,500 miles recorded between the 2024 test and another 5,900 miles before the most recent entry. This low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage urban SUVs. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Mazda CX-5 concerns for this age. At 80,000 miles, the rear suspension bushes and coil springs often show signs of wear or cracking that may not always trigger an MOT failure until significant. You should also inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and check the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last three years, the vehicle appears to have been well-kept, but a manual check of the rubber bushings and fluid remains essential.
