2019 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · ST19 BBE

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-11-14, with no defects recorded at 37,534 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in the past year, as the absence of advisories or failures indicates no recurring mechanical issues requiring attention. The consistent pass status across all tests—including the latest—implies the owner has likely addressed any minor wear promptly, though the 2022 test did reveal minor rear brake disc wear and a service brake fluctuation, which were not repeated in subsequent checks. The lack of advisories in the last two tests further supports that any potential concerns have been resolved. The mileage progression of approximately 5,362 miles per year is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the gaps between tests. The largest jump occurred between the 2022-05-04 test (14,595 miles) and the 2023-04-25 test (22,021 miles), a span of nearly 11 months with just 7,426 miles logged—a pattern that repeats with similar intervals. This suggests the car may have been stored or used infrequently during those periods, which could impact fluid degradation, tyre condition, or minor corrosion development. The most recent test in November 2025, however, aligns with the typical annual MOT cycle, indicating the vehicle has been in regular use since then. Given the 2022 rear brake advisories—specifically pitted and scored discs on both sides and a minor service brake fluctuation—buyers should prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system. Focus on the rear calipers and discs for uneven wear, binding, or excessive heat discolouration, as these issues can recur if not properly serviced. The suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, should also be examined for deterioration, as low mileage does not guarantee their longevity if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and lateral cuts, as the low mileage may mask underlying wear from uneven loading or age-related degradation.
