2012 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LD62 JFE

The 2012 Mazda CX-5 presents a stable roadworthiness profile with its most recent test on 4 July 2025 at 76,798 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The DVSA entry for the same date shows a failure line with no defects listed, a known administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five available tests from June 2022 to July 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating no worsening trend and no recurring mechanical or structural concerns in the official record. Mileage sits at 76,798 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 5,486 miles per annum. The odometer moved from 65,892 in June 2022 to 68,280 in June 2023, then 72,802 in July 2024 and 76,798 by July 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 3,500 and 4,000 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Low use of this order often means lighter wear on drivetrain and suspension bushes but raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from prolonged standing, none of which the clean MOT history contradicts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet a 2012 vehicle with intermittent use can hide surface rust on subframes and exhaust hangers that a brief test bay check may miss. Examine brake discs for pitting after low-mileage idle periods and confirm suspension coil springs show no fracture from cold cycling. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify fluid levels, as the record offers no evidence of neglected consumables but cannot confirm storage conditions. The absence of advisories across four years suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, though the duplicated 2025 entry warrants a fresh MOT certificate check before purchase.
