2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LO64 AOC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in August 2025 at 93,670 miles passed following a failure just twelve days prior. That initial failure cited an inoperative rear fog lamp switch, a blown offside front position lamp, and perishing rear tyres. While the vehicle currently meets legal standards, the recurring nature of these consumable failures suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten to cause an MOT failure. At 93,670 miles, the CX-5 has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows steady growth, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 5,400 miles in the year preceding that. This consistency indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber components and fluids despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and suspension, as these areas show a clear trend of wear. The 2023 and 2024 records repeatedly flagged thin brake pads, while the 2024 test specifically noted pitted and scored discs on both rear wheels. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for a nearside front track rod end with excessive play indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. A thorough physical check of the remaining bushes and ball joints is essential to ensure no further steering play has developed since the last recorded..
