2018 Mazda CX-5 Sport NAV D 2.2L Diesel · OE67 WHU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 with 120,492 miles. This pass followed an unexpected failure just one week prior on 9 December 2025 at 120,286 miles, which suggests a minor adjustment or component replacement was rectified immediately to secure the retest. Since the October 2022 test, the vehicle has shown no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical maintenance despite the high mileage. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and December 2023, the car covered 15,488 miles in just 14 months, while usage accelerated significantly between the December 2023 and December 2025 tests, where 27,906 miles were logged in two years. This consistent high-mile pattern suggests motorway driving, which typically places less strain on the clutch and gearbox compared to short-distance city trips. Given the clean MOT history and high annual mileage, a buyer should focus the physical inspection on components subjected to high-frequency wear. Specifically examine the suspension control arms, rubber bushings, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or tearing. The buyer should also evaluate the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning, as the 120,000-mile mark often necessitates replacement. While the record shows no structural issues, a manual check of the underbody for corrosion remains necessary to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
