2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · VC59 CHA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 May 2025 at 39,773 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four annual tests. This consistency suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, avoiding the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and May 2025, the car covered 17,166 miles, indicating light usage or long periods of stationary time. Such low mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress components like the engine, transmission, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, the consistent annual interval between tests despite under 5,000 miles can sometimes lead to flat spots on tyres or degradation of rubber components as the vehicle ages without regular movement. While the MOT record shows no history of recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components associated with low-mileage use. A buyer should check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning effectively. It is also prudent to inspect the condition of the suspension rubber arm boots for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the vehicle appears to be a well-preserved example of its model.
