2022 Mazda CX-5: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
90% pass first time (all 2022 cars: 89%)
Stands out: brake pads 2.6×, headlight aim 2×
6,562 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
91% pass first time (all 2022 cars: 89%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
965 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
