2015 Mazda CX-5 2.2L Diesel · YH15 TXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend over the last three years. Following a clean test in March 2024 at 93,792 miles, the car passed without any recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues were successfully rectified. The transition from a failure in early 2022 to consecutive clean passes in subsequent tests suggests that the current ownership is proactive in addressing safety-critical faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 3,300 miles driven between March 2022 and 2023, and another 3,300 miles between March 2023 and March 2024. This low annual usage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and braking system, though it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between services. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, given the history of wear. The 2021 test at 80,996 miles flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes for wear. While these passed in later tests, a buyer should check for any perished rubber or cracking in the bushings which could lead to handling instability. Additionally, the fractured nearside rear coil spring noted in 2022 warrants a visual check of the remaining springs to ensure no further sagging or corrosion has developed since the replacement. The mention of undertrays being fitted during the March 2024 test is a positive indicator for structural integrity, as these components protect the chassis from road debris and physical impact. However, the buyer should still inspect the underside for signs of surface rust or mounting corrosion, as vehicles of this era are prone to oxidation in the suspension mounting points. The overall record suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained enough to pass MOT standards without recurring mechanical failures.
