2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · YG65 FXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repair following a period of neglect. The most recent test on 12 May 2026 at 49,193 miles passed with only an advisory for a worn front brake disc. This follows a significant setback in September 2025 where the car failed twice due to suspension component wear and tyre degradation, indicating that mechanical issues were only addressed once they prevented a successful MOT pass. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,472 miles per year. However, a major discrepancy exists in the recorded history; on 24 September 2025, one entry recorded 110,963 miles while the corresponding failure and subsequent pass on the same day recorded 47,189 miles. This suggests a data entry error by the tester that should be verified against the physical odometer. Despite this confusion, low annual mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components, seals, and tyres rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the anti-roll bar linkages were flagged as excessively worn in 2025. While these were replaced, the low-use environment often causes dry rot in rubber bushes and dust covers. The recurring history of cracking and perishing tyres in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, necessitating a check of the sidewalls on all tyres regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the braking system requires attention, as the record shows thin pads in 2024 followed by worn discs in 2026, indicating the braking assembly is nearing the end of its effective service life.
