2014 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · MF64 PMO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 89,172 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior where multiple safety defects were identified. The tester flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring, thin rear brake pads, and a significantly worn offside rear disc, suggesting that the owner only addressed faults once they reached failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of use, with roughly 5,300 miles driven between September 2023 and 2024, and another 4,300 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been heavily used, but the lack of recorded service intervals in the MOT data often correlates with the neglected degradation of rubber and metal seen in the braking and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes to assess the general corrosion noted in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. Because the tester specifically highlighted rust on the front and rear subframes, structural integrity is a primary concern that could lead to future MOT failures. The buyer should also check the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, which indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes, and verify that the rear braking system and coil springs were replaced with quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
