2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LR64 AEM

The Mazda CX-5 presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 15 May 2025 at 166,863 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every recorded pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A failed test on 14 May 2025 at the same mileage was followed one day later by a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the failure carried no listed fault and the vehicle cleared promptly. Mileage stands at 166,863 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 13,905 miles per year and placing this example firmly in high-use territory for its age. The records show 131,407 miles on 8 August 2022, 143,521 on 24 July 2023, 160,712 on 20 August 2024, then 166,863 by May 2025. Annual accumulation has eased in the final year, dropping below 7,000 miles, yet the overall span reflects sustained motorway or business-type use rather than light local running. Given the sparse MOT data and absence of flagged items, the buyer should not assume a fault-free mechanical state without a physical check. High mileage at this age commonly hides worn suspension bushes, tired dampers, and fatigued coil springs not captured by a pass with no defects. The DVSA sheet offers no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or corrosion, but structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close inspection for rust. A pre-purchase examination should cover drivetrain condition, tyre sidewall cracking, and exhaust emissions under load. The clean record implies previous owners kept the car to test standard, though the unexplained one-day fail in May 2025 deserves a question to the seller. Without in-person verification, the high mileage leaves consumable and mechanical margins thinner than a lower-mileage equivalent.
