2017 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · VO67 PDY

As a 2.2-litre diesel, this CX-5 will likely offer respectable fuel economy on motorway journeys, though urban driving may see consumption rise. You should factor in higher road tax rates typical for diesel vehicles of this era. Insurance groups for the CX-5 are generally reasonable for its class, but your specific premium will depend on your driving history.

Maintenance costs for a vehicle with over 100,000 miles will naturally be higher than average. You should budget for regular servicing and the inevitable wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes, which are frequent advisories for this model. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £1,800-£2,200 including fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance.

Pay close attention to the front brake discs and brake pipes. The 2022 MOT noted a corroded offside front brake pipe, and while it passed, it is worth checking the current condition of the entire braking system to ensure no further corrosion has developed. Additionally, check the inner edges of the tyres, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of uneven wear.

Inspect the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bars, as these are common failure points for the CX-5 model across the UK. Ensure that all exterior lighting is fully functional, as headlamp issues are another frequent MOT failure category for this vehicle type. A thorough test drive should be used to listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or drivetrain given the high mileage.
