2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · KE65 DXT

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in February 2024 at 113,648 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a minor failure just one mile prior due to a structurally damaged offside front tyre reaching the cords. The fact that this issue was rectified immediately to secure a clean pass suggests the current owner is attentive to safety-critical items when flagged by the DVSA. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,365 miles per annum. Between March 2021 and March 2022, the car covered 1,565 miles, indicating a period of lower usage. However, the mileage increased significantly between March 2022 and February 2024, where the vehicle clocked 5,536 miles in roughly twenty-three months. This recent pattern suggests the car is currently being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and components to prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing or short-mile trips. While the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components typical for a 113,000 mile Mazda. The buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and rubber mounts for tearing, as these often degrade at this interval. Attention should also turn to the brake system for thin discs or binding calipers, as the record does not show previous advisories for wear. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underside for surface rust on the exhaust system remains necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound.
