2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · SX18 DFA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 30 March 2026 at 49,211 miles. While the history shows a single failure in March 2025, the immediate retest pass suggests that any identified faults were rectified promptly. The lack of recurring defects across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have generally maintained a consistent standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with light to moderate use, averaging approximately 6,150 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between the March 2023 test at 40,418 miles and the March 2026 test at 49,211 miles, the vehicle covered 8,793 miles. This low annual accumulation typically reduces the wear on high-stress components such as the engine, clutch, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific cause of the March 2025 failure to ensure the repair was thorough rather than a temporary fix. Given the low mileage, it is also necessary to check for signs of age-related degradation, such as perished rubber seals or minor corrosion on brake discs, which can occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. Inspect the chassis for any early structural rust and check the integrity of the control arm bushes, as these are common points of interest on this model regardless of mileage.
