2014 Mazda CX-5 SE-L D 2.2L Diesel · RHZ 5099

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 August 2025 at 148,024 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its initial test only to pass shortly thereafter after remedial work. This suggests the previous owner addressed specific faults when prompted by the testing process rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage indicates a high level of use for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,300 miles per year. A significant period of activity occurred between July 2024 and August 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. The lack of advisories on the most recent certificate is notable given the mileage, but it suggests the mechanical components were serviced shortly before the last inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and brake assemblies, as the high mileage often accelerates the wear of control arms, shock absorbers, and calipers. Given the vehicle's age, checking the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, particularly around the arches and sills common to this model. While the record does not list specific reasons for the previous failures, the recurring nature of these tests implies that components like bulbs, wipers, or emissions sensors may be reaching the end of their functional life.
