2013 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · WP13 AEK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-04 at 152,088 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2025-04-03 at identical mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or minor unresolved issues. Previous MOTs from 2024-03-30 and 2023-03-30 also passed with no defects, establishing a stable trend over the last three years. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident from the records, though the failed test without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating 18,794 miles between 2023-03-30 (114,541 miles) and 2024-03-30 (133,335 miles), followed by 18,753 miles by 2025-04-04 (152,088 miles). No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are noted, reflecting consistent operation. The absence of defects in multiple tests suggests diligent maintenance, though the 2025-04-03 failure without recorded issues raises questions about potential undetected faults or procedural errors during that assessment. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given its age and mileage. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older models. Check the exhaust system for leaks or rust, and assess body panels for structural corrosion, especially in areas prone to road salt. While MOT records show no critical issues, the failed test without explanation necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
