2018 Mazda CX-5 2.0L Petrol · SB68 LZJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 October 2025 at 37,070 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in aging SUVs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 8,753 miles and the October 2025 test at 37,070 miles, the car covered 28,317 miles, suggesting light long-distance use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary. However, the lack of any advisory advisories suggests the car has been driven regularly despite the low mileage. Because the MOT record shows no history of suspension calipers, exhaust leaks, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-use storage. A buyer should check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, which can occur on vehicles that are not used frequently. The tyres should also be inspected for age-related sidewalling rather than just tread depth, and suspension bushes should be checked for signs of perished cracking that can manifest over time despite low mileage.
