2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · JP63 AUG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing inspections. The most recent test conducted on 27 May 2025 at 73,248 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since then, the car has maintained a clean record without any recurring mechanical or structural failures across the last four testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. There is no evidence of rapid accumulation or long periods of neglect. Between the tests in June 2022 at 52,442 miles and May 2025 at 73,248 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles. This steady usage indicates regular road deployment, which generally benefits the mechanical components like seals, bushings, and braking systems compared to a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT history shows no previous advisories regarding structural corrosion or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on common wear items for this age and mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs, as rubber can perish over a decade regardless of low mileage. Given the relatively low annual distance, checking the brake discs for pitting or surface rust is advisable, as low-use vehicles often suffer from artwork on the braking surfaces.
