2022 Mazda Cx 5 Sport Edition

CarHunch analysed 1,140 real MOT records for the 2022 Mazda Cx 5 Sport Edition. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 Sport Edition is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a first-time pass rate of 91.7%—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 3.1% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects. Failures are rare at just 0.09 per vehicle on average, suggesting the mechanicals are holding up well so far.

At a median mileage of 26,732 miles for a two-year-old vehicle, these cars are running bang on typical use, and the low failure count combined with 0.7 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection will likely reveal only routine maintenance items—focus your inspection on gearbox smoothness and any signs of suspension wear, as these tend to be where Mazda costs can add up.

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

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.
