2022 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport 2.0L Petrol · PJ22 ACY

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the most recent tests on 2025-10-09 and 2025-10-29, both at approximately 29,250 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical issues or advisories over the past year. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural integrity has been consistent, though the lack of advisories could also imply the tester did not identify any borderline conditions requiring further attention. The most recent test was conducted just under nine months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, as it falls outside the recommended 12-month interval for thorough inspection. The recorded mileage of 29,250 miles over four years—roughly 7,300 miles annually—aligns with typical usage patterns for this model. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, indicating consistent driving habits without prolonged periods of disuse or aggressive acceleration. The near-identical mileage readings between the two most recent MOTs (29,248 and 29,250) suggest the odometer has not been tampered with, though a physical inspection of the VIN and mileage sticker would confirm this. The lack of earlier MOT records makes it impossible to assess long-term wear trends, but the current data does not raise immediate concerns about excessive mileage-related degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components that are not always captured in a standard test. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and struts—should be examined for uneven wear or fluid leaks, as these are critical for handling and safety. Brake discs and pads, while not flagged in the MOT, may show uneven wear if the vehicle has been driven hard, and binding calipers could develop over time despite passing tests. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around wheel arches and sills, should also be checked, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads or poor parking conditions. Finally, a thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, is advisable, as these issues often escalate between MOT tests.
