2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · LS14 AZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in April 2026 at 153,101 miles passed, yet it revealed an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a failure in April 2025 for a fractured offside rear coil spring and defective wiper blades. While the vehicle consistently passes after repairs, the recurring nature of consumable and suspension faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach failure. At 153,101 miles over 12 years, this CX-5 has covered an average of approximately 12,758 miles per year. The data shows consistent high-mile usage, with 7,729 miles clocked between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,975 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This high annual mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is consistent with the mechanical wear noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The 2024 record flagged thin rear brake pads and a front exhaust leak, while the 2026 advisory for uneven tyre wear on the offside rear points to potential wheel-alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not yet been rectified. The buyer must also verify the coil springs for signs of corrosion following the fracture noted in 2025 and check the exhaust manifold to ensure the previous leak was properly sealed.
