2010 MAZDA 62.2L Diesel

The overall roadworthiness status of this 2010 Mazda 6 is sound, supported by a clean pass on January 14, 2026, at 140,173 miles. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable regarding structural and mechanical defects, as the vehicle has recorded zero advisories or failure reasons across its last three annual MOT cycles. However, a recurring pattern appears where the car initially fails its test before passing a few days later, which occurred on January 9, 2026, at 140,167 miles and again on January 10, 2025, at 129,960 miles. These immediate retests imply administrative or minor prep issues rather than neglected mechanical failures, though they warrant a careful check of the paperwork. The vehicle displays consistent mileage accumulation over the evaluated period, moving from 119,024 miles in January 2024 to 129,966 miles in January 2025, and finally reaching 140,173 miles by January 2026. This trajectory shows an average usage of roughly 10,500 miles per year, which sits slightly above the historical baseline for the chassis age of sixteen years. There are no suspicious gaps in the testing frequency, and the steady progression indicates the car has been in regular, uninterrupted service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on consumable items and underlying components that do not always trigger formal MOT tester failure points, such as suspension bushes, brake disc wear, and clutch operation given the 140,000-mile total. Mazda models of this era require a thorough visual check of the subframes, sills, and wheel arches for hidden structural corrosion, despite the clean MOT history. Verifying the service stamps in the logbook will confirm whether the previous owner maintained the engine oil and filters to match the steady annual mileage accumulation.
