2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · WX68 HKY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 May 2025 at 83,892 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in June 2023, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than allowing a trend of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 40,812 miles and June 2024 at 70,165 miles, the car covered nearly 30,000 miles, showing steady and regular use. The most recent interval of 13,727 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests confirms the vehicle remains in active service which generally helps prevent the seal failures and fluid degradation associated with long stationary periods. Given the record shows no recurring advisories in the last three tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the CX-5 at this mileage. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and control arms for signs of tearing, as these components often degrade after 80,000 miles. Although the MOT record does not flag structural issues, checking the rear arches and exhaust mounting for early-stage corrosion is prudent to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound as the vehicle enters its second decade.
