2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · BG65 BOV

The 2026‑02‑04 MOT at 143,661 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies the required roadworthiness standards. Earlier entries show consistent passes with only minor wear items, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The mileage has climbed steadily from 79,187 miles in February 2019 to the present figure, an average increase of roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is high for a ten‑year‑old car but shows no abrupt jumps or extended periods of inactivity. Each annual test provides a clear data point, and the incremental rise aligns with normal usage patterns. Recurring observations include thin front brake pads, off‑side front brake binding, tyre wear on the edges, and the presence of engine covers and under‑trays that restrict full visual inspection of the chassis, suggesting potential rust or corrosion in concealed areas. The record also notes suspension bushes and coil springs as components that may require close examination, given the high mileage and age. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front and rear brake discs and pads, verify that the calipers move freely, assess tyre tread and wear patterns, and inspect the under‑tray and chassis for rust or structural damage, while also confirming that the child‑seat installations do not impede the adult belt check.
