MAZDA 62010 · 2.2L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the data is outdated. The final test on 16 November 2021 at 150,683 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that yielded no faults. This suggests a minor presentation issue was rectified immediately. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over five years, leaving the current mechanical state unknown and unverified. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between February 2018 and February 2020, the car covered 17,615 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The gap of 3,335 miles between the 2020 and November 2021 tests shows a slight decrease in frequency but does not indicate mechanical neglect. The lack of records since late 2021 suggests the car may have been used very infrequently or has been allowed to sit for an extended period, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the 2010 Mazda 6 is prone to corrosion in the rear arches and sills. Given the long time since the last recorded test, the buyer should check for perished brake hoses, degraded suspension bushes, and leaking shock absorbers. The braking system also requires a thorough check for seized calipers or seized pistons resulting from inactivity. While the historical record is clean, the absence of a recent MOT necessitates a comprehensive mechanical appraisal to ensure the vehicle remains fit for road use.
