Our Verdict
This Mazda CX-5 represents a solid purch
When inspecting this CX-5, prioritise a thorough check of the service history to complement the MOT data. Given the 19-inch wheels, replacement tyres can be a significant expense, so verify the brand and tread depth of the current set to ensure they match the vehicle's performance requirements.
Furthermore, ensure that the automatic transmission operates smoothly during your test drive, as this is a key component of the 'Sport D' trim. Since the model has a known history of tyre-related MOT failures in the wider population, checking for uneven wear patterns is essential to confirm the suspension alignment is correct.
As a 2.2-litre diesel, this CX-5 is designed for motorway efficiency, though urban driving may impact fuel economy. You should factor in the costs associated with the higher-spec 19-inch wheels, which typically demand premium-priced tyres compared to smaller alternatives.
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for a diesel of this age will be subject to current UK tax bands, and insurance premiums will reflect its position as a mid-to-high-spec SUV. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, provided the vehicle is kept in good mechanical order through regular servicing.
Inspect the front tyres closely; the 2024 MOT failure noted inner-edge wear, which can sometimes indicate tracking or alignment issues that may recur if not addressed. Check the windscreen and wiper blade operation carefully, as wiper efficiency is a common MOT failure point for this model.
Additionally, examine the bodywork and alloy wheels for signs of kerb damage, which is common on larger SUV wheels. Ensure all electronic features, including the infotainment and safety sensors, are functional during your inspection, as these systems are complex and costly to repair if they fail.
This 2021 Mazda CX-5 Sport D Auto has covered 54,676 miles since its registration in July 2021. The vehicle has a recent MOT history featuring two consecutive passes, including a clean record in July 2025. While it did record a failure in 2024, the issues were rectified, and the vehicle has since maintained a clear status.
The Mazda CX-5 performs well against the average, with an MOT pass rate of 91.1% across the analysed fleet.
