2017 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · SO66 AFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 December 2025 at 81,370 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred briefly on 10 December 2024, the immediate re-pass the following day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified issues rather than neglecting mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the December 2022 test at 63,448 miles and the December 2025 test at 81,370 miles, the car covered 17,922 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 6,000 miles per year. This consistent use often reduces the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of standing, while avoiding the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension caused by high-intensity motorway driving. Given the clean records from the most recent tests, a physical inspection should now focus on common CX-5 wear points that appear at this mileage bracket. The buyer should examine the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these often show fatigue after 80,000 miles. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning, and inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis for early-stage corrosion, remains necessary. The lack of recurring structural advisories in the history suggests the vehicle has been kept in a dry environment.
