2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LR63 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 103,861 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failed test on 2026-01-15 at 103,565 miles—also with no defects—raises questions about the accuracy of the record or potential procedural errors. All prior MOTs from 2023 to 2025 passed without issues, indicating consistent compliance. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests implies no urgent mechanical failures, though the abrupt failure and subsequent pass warrant scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history for unrecorded repairs. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 7,989 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. Gaps between tests show steady accumulation, with 9,700 miles between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs, and 8,715 miles between 2024 and 2025. The final 6,451 miles to 2026-01-21 suggest regular use without prolonged inactivity. No significant spikes or drops in mileage indicate predictable operating conditions, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems during an in-person inspection, as these are common areas for wear in older SUVs. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate the need for checks on coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion, particularly given the age. Confirming the integrity of the exhaust system is critical, as emissions compliance can degrade over time. No structural rust or major mechanical faults were flagged in the MOT history, but a thorough visual and functional assessment remains advisable.
