2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LM15 ADX

The vehicle achieved a pass on 27 September 2025 at 132 268 mi, carrying only advisories for corrosion of rear and front suspension components and the rear sub‑frame, plus a contaminated front position lamp and worn rear brake discs. A concurrent failure entry on the same date recorded deeper issues – tyre tread below 1.6 mm, ineffective wipers, a non‑functional front position lamp, a fractured rear coil spring and a nail in the offside rear tyre – suggesting the pass followed corrective work. The pattern of recurring corrosion and wear indicates a stable but not improving condition; earlier failures such as the coil spring and tyre damage appear resolved, yet the underlying corrosion trend persists. Mileage accumulation shows roughly 12 000 mi per year since 2015, reaching 132 268 mi by the latest test. The interval from the August 2023 pass (121 474 mi) to the September 2024 failure (130 728 mi) added about 9 250 mi in roughly 13 months, while the September 2024 pass (130 793 mi) and the immediate failure (130 728 mi) within the same month reflect a short‑term re‑test after repairs. The MOT record is relatively complete, with tests spaced roughly annually and a recent entry only ten months before the current date of 7 August 2026. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the suspension bushes and rear sub‑frame for corrosion, verify the condition of the rear brake discs for pitting, and test the front position lamp for contamination or loss of intensity. The rear coil spring should be examined for cracks or breakage, and all tyres checked for tread depth, structural damage and foreign objects such as nails. The wiper blades need functional testing, and the front windscreen damage noted in earlier records should be assessed for any impact on visibility. These checks will confirm whether the persistent corrosion and wear have been adequately addressed and whether the vehicle remains suitable for continued use.
