2010 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · RF10 AGZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-11-13 at 146,853 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2023-11-08 at 133,031 miles also passed with no issues, while a failed test on 2023-11-07 at 133,027 miles recorded no defects. This suggests either a testing inconsistency or minor unresolved concerns. Subsequent tests in 2022 showed similar patterns, with a pass on 2022-10-26 at 125,620 miles and a failure on 2022-10-24 at the same mileage. The lack of recorded defects in these passes and fails implies the vehicle likely met basic standards but may have had transient issues. Overall, the trend shows no worsening mechanical faults, though the repeated fails without recorded defects raise questions about the testing process or underlying maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 146,853 miles at 16 years old aligns with an average of 9,178 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The 2023-11-07 failure occurred just two days before a pass at nearly identical mileage, suggesting possible testing variability or minor adjustments. The 2024 test at 146,853 miles was the first in over a year, raising concerns about the vehicle’s compliance with current roadworthiness standards. While the MOT history lacks significant defects, the sparse data and repeated near-failures indicate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, particularly with coil springs, suspension bushes, or binding calipers, which may not trigger MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody, should also be assessed, as it can develop over time. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a professional inspection is essential to verify that no recurring problems were overlooked in the MOT records.
