2022 Mazda CX-5 SE-L D Auto 2.2L Diesel · ST71 AEO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 at 46,765 miles confirmed it met roadworthiness standards with no defects recorded. The prior 2025-02-04 test at 32,281 miles also passed without issues, while the 2024-06-04 test at 22,537 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed. This suggests a technical or procedural failure, possibly related to emissions or a minor non-defect issue that was subsequently resolved. Overall, the maintenance trend indicates stability, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the last two passes. The vehicle’s mileage progression aligns with typical usage for its age, averaging ~11,691 miles annually. The 2024-06-04 test at 22,537 miles fell within the lower end of its recorded range, followed by a 14,484-mile increase to 46,765 miles by 2026-01-29. This growth reflects consistent use rather than abrupt spikes, though the 2024 failure without defects raises questions about potential unresolved issues. The absence of recorded defects in the last 18 months suggests the owner addressed any prior concerns, but the 2024 test’s outcome warrants scrutiny. A buyer should verify the resolution of the 2024 failure, particularly focusing on exhaust emissions, as this is a common cause of MOT non-compliance. Inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate visible defects. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess the vehicle’s underbody for signs of rust, especially in areas prone to road salt exposure. The MOT record’s lack of structural or safety-critical defects supports the vehicle’s roadworthiness, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
