2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · M14 DSY

The Mazda CX-5 holds a roadworthy verdict as of the latest DVSA examination on 27 June 2025 at 100,741 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend stays stable across the documented lifespan. Records show a clean run from 6 July 2022 through to the 2025 test. A single irregularity appears on 3 July 2023: the system lists a failed test at 79,820 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage. That dual entry suggests a procedural anomaly or a swift re-test after a clerical snag, with no mechanical fault ever cited. Mileage progression matches expected norms for a 2013 registration. The car showed 69,824 miles on 6 July 2022, climbed to 79,820 by 3 July 2023, reached 89,983 on 18 July 2024, and hit 100,741 on 27 June 2025. Yearly use runs near 10,000 miles, slightly above the 7,749-mile annual average derived from total distance but remarkably consistent. No testing gap exceeds thirteen months. Steady accrual and punctual tests imply a keeper who kept the vehicle in regular road use rather than storing it idle for extended spells. A buyer should still scrutinise mechanical parts that a no-advisory pass does not fully expose. The tester noted no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion or structural integrity. In person, probe subframes for superficial rust, inspect rear coil springs for fatigue, and confirm front brake discs display no wear lip while calipers show no binding. Assess exhaust emissions under driving load and verify tyre condition beyond statutory minimums. The lack of recurring advisories on consumables like wiper blades or tyres signals that basic maintenance was not skipped by previous owners. Prior keepers presented the CX-5 for test with faults corrected beforehand, as the anomalous 2023 failure carried no recorded defect. Prospective purchasers must still validate accompanying service invoices to substantiate the sound picture the MOT history paints.
