2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · SN63 TPZ

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 28 January 2026 at 137,594 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent entry in the record, sitting just under five months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's current roadworthiness status is exceptionally well documented. The broader pattern is one of consistent upkeep rather than neglect. Every test from October 2022 through January 2026 has passed first time, with the sole exception being a 26 September 2023 failure at 126,017 miles that carried no recorded defects, likely a procedural or administrative retest resolved the following day. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear anywhere in the history. The mileage accumulation tells a coherent story. Between the October 2022 pass at 117,148 miles and the September 2023 test at 126,017 miles, the vehicle covered 8,869 miles in roughly eleven months. From September 2023 to February 2025, it added 6,165 miles over approximately sixteen months, a slightly slower pace. The final interval from February 2025 at 132,182 miles to January 2026 at 137,594 miles accounts for 5,412 miles in just under twelve months. Annualised across its thirteen years, the total of 137,594 miles works out to roughly 10,584 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical UK usage. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection focused on areas the MOT does not continuously monitor between tests. At nearly 138,000 miles, suspension components including front lower arm bushes, rear trailing arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links deserve close scrutiny for play or deterioration, even if no advisory has yet been flagged. The braking system should be inspected for uneven disc wear, caliper slide pin seizure, and pad thickness remaining, particularly given the vehicle's age. Underbody and sill corrosion warrants careful examination, as the CX-5's generation is known to develop surface and structural rust around rear wheel arches, subframes, and jacking points, especially if the underseal has degraded. The exhaust system, including the DPF and catalytic converter, should be assessed for condition and emissions compliance ahead of the next test cycle. Tyre condition and alignment should also be checked, as uneven wear at this mileage often points to neglected tracking or worn suspension geometry that may not yet constitute a test failure.
