2016 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · SL66 CFX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 12 September 2025 at 190,492 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. Following a failure in September 2022, the owner has successfully cleared consecutive annual tests without advisories, suggesting that any previously identified issues were addressed immediately. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and heavy usage, with a jump of 35,055 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 31,145 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests primarily motorway use, which often places less strain on stop-start-related components than city driving but accelerates the fatigue life on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components associated with the sub-200,000-mile mark. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the shock absorbers, coil springs, and control arm bushings for signs of tearing or play. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers for seizing, as consistent use puts significant thermal on these systems. Given the age and distance, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody for corrosion is vital to ensure the high-mileage history has not compromised the chassis.
