2018 Mazda 6 2.5L Petrol · VA18 CUJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 09 January 2026 at 73,269 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. While a failure was recorded in March 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the specific identified fault promptly without allowing a mechanical issue to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,159 miles per annum. Between June 2023 at 46,993 miles and March 2025 at 66,113 miles, the car covered nearly 20,000 miles, showing a period of regular driving. The more recent 7,156 miles recorded between March 2025 and January 2026 maintains this sustained operational level, which generally helps prevent the corrosion and seizing associated with long periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests, a buyer should focus on physical inspections of components that fall outside the standard MOT scope. At 73,000 miles, it is prudent to check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these often show degradation at this interval. One should also inspect the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure the remaining thickness of pads or discs unless they cause a functional failure.
