2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · ND65 CZS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 4 September 2025 at 90,072 miles, indicating the car is roadworthy. The maintenance trend shows a mixed history of neglect followed by rectification. While the most recent pass was clean, the failure recorded just one week prior on 28 August 2025 highlights significant issues with tyre condition and exhaust emissions, suggesting that the owner addressed these items only under the pressure of an impending test rather than through proactive servicing. Annual mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The car covered approximately 14,000 miles between January 2021 and January 2022, and a similar distance between January 2022 and January 2023. The gap between the January 2023 test and the August 2025 failure suggests a period of roughly 11,000 miles covered over 32 months, which is a lower rate of usage. This moderate pace of accumulation is generally positive, though it necessitates a thorough check for signs of long-term standing, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the exhaust system and rear suspension geometry. The 2025 failure regarding excessive smoke and emissions indicates potential issues with the diesel particulate filter or fuel injection system, which require a cold-start assessment to ensure no blue or black smoke persists. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for rear tyre edge wear in both 2021 and 2025 point toward potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may be causing uneven contact patches. Verify that the current tyres show even wear across the tread width and inspect the brake discs for scoring, as the front pads were flagged as thin during the 2023 inspection.
