2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LC14 KXM

The 2014 Mazda CX-5 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 19 May 2026 at 77,124 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 22 May 2025 was also entirely free of advisories or failures, indicating that the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a high standard over the past two years. Earlier records show minor wear items were flagged and subsequently addressed, suggesting previous owners acted on identified faults rather than neglecting them. The mileage accumulation of approximately 6,427 miles per year over twelve years sits squarely within typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded intervals show steady progression: 63,429 miles in April 2022, 69,607 miles in April 2023, 72,531 miles in June 2024, 74,265 miles in May 2025, and 77,124 miles in May 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. The annual increments have remained remarkably consistent at roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles per year in recent history, which is moderate and manageable for this platform. The 2024 test on 24 June at 72,531 miles flagged three items that warranted attention: worn offside front brake pads, a nearside rear wishbone bush with slight play, and inner edge wear on both front tyres. All three were rectified before the subsequent May 2025 test, which passed cleanly. A prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the front brake discs and pads in person, as uneven pad wear can point to sticking caliper sliders or guide pins. The rear wishbone bush advisory is worth inspecting on a ramp, as worn suspension bushes on the CX-5 can lead to vague rear-end handling and accelerated tyre wear if left unchecked. Given the age of the vehicle, an underbody inspection for corrosion on the subframes, sills, and around the rear wheel arches is sensible, even though no structural concerns have appeared on the MOT record to date.
