2016 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · LT16 ACJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 27 January 2026 at 82,784 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they escalated into failures, maintaining a clean record over five consecutive years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 42,949 miles, showing a steady usage pattern without unusual spikes or long periods of apparent neglect. The 10,837 miles driven between the January 2025 test and the January 2026 test aligns with the historical average, indicating the vehicle is used regularly but not excessively, which typically reduces the rate of wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record is devoid of faults, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common CX-5 wear points at this age and mileage. The lack of advisories for brake components or structural corrosion is encouraging, but the inspector should verify the rear control arms and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these are prone to degradation over time. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the shock absorbers and looking for any minor fluid leaks is also prudent, as these items are not always captured during a standard MOT inspection unless they reach a state of failure.
