2017 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · CH61 ANH

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-10 at 57,691 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. Over the past three annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or a worsening trend in maintenance. The absence of advisories in the latest test suggests no pending concerns requiring immediate attention, though this does not preclude wear that falls outside MOT scope. The double entry in December 2024 (a pass at 53,261 miles followed by a fail at 53,260) is anomalous and likely a data anomaly rather than a mechanical failure, as no defects were logged. The mileage progression of roughly 6,400 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no prolonged periods of inactivity or rapid accumulation. The most notable gap is between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 7,646 miles in a year, but this does not indicate excessive wear beyond expected. The consistency of passing tests without fail implies either disciplined maintenance or components that have yet to reach critical failure thresholds. However, the lack of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee the absence of hidden issues such as degraded suspension bushes or subtle corrosion in wheel arches. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven tyre wear were never flagged, but a visual check of brake discs, calipers, and pads for corrosion or excessive thickness variation is advisable. Structural integrity should be assessed for signs of rust in wheel arches, sills, or subframes, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The absence of MOT advisories does not rule out minor consumables like wiper blades or interior upholstery, which may require replacement regardless of the test results.
