Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Mazda Cx 5 GT Sport D 4x4 Auto?

This 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport D is a genuinely reliable diesel SUV, with a 94.5% first-time MOT pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 1.9%. The handful of failures it does accumulate (0.09 per vehicle on average) suggests owners rarely encounter serious problems.

At 28,100 miles median mileage, these are still relatively young cars with light use, so the strong pass rate reflects both the model's build quality and the fact they haven't yet accumulated the wear that catches out older vehicles. The 0.8 average advisories per car indicate minor wear is starting to show, but nothing alarming—if you're considering one, a full pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist will give you confidence it's been serviced properly.
