2022 Mazda Cx 5 Sport Black

CarHunch analysed 182 real MOT records for the 2022 Mazda Cx 5 Sport Black. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 Sport Black is a reliable performer, with 94.5% of first-time MOT passes well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects showing up in just 1.1% of vehicles analysed—genuinely low for a car this age. At an average mileage of 24,187 miles, these cars are running light and showing minimal wear, with only 0.08 failures per vehicle but 0.8 advisories suggesting some minor maintenance items are emerging.

This is a reassuring early-life MOT record for a Japanese crossover, though the advisory rate hints that small niggles are starting to appear as these vehicles pass two years old. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on any advisory history—that will tell you whether the current owner has stayed on top of preventative maintenance.

What to check before buying a 2022 Mazda Cx 5 Sport Black

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
