2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK15 ACU

The Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 30 March 2026 at 85,887 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. Maintenance trend remains stable across the available history, with every examination from March 2024 onward showing clean results. The vehicle failed twice previously, on 28 March 2026 and 10 March 2025, yet both failures list no defects at near-identical mileages of 85,887 and 80,848 respectively. Such paired fail-pass outcomes within days indicate administrative or non-mechanical rejections rather than worsening condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 76,473 miles at the 6 March 2024 pass to 80,850 miles by the 25 March 2025 pass, a modest 4,377 miles over thirteen months. A further 5,037 miles accrued by the March 2026 test, yielding an average circa 7,800 miles per annum. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear; the sparse but consistent annual tests suggest a previous owner who covered low distances and likely kept basic servicing intervals. Given the absence of recorded advisories or defects, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components. At 85,887 miles and eleven years old, suspension bushes, front coil springs, and brake disc wear merit hands-on checks despite the clean MOT. The tester noted no corrosion, but structural integrity around sills and subframes should be visually confirmed. The unexplained failures with zero defects warrant a check of DVSA failure reasons, as they may relate to lighting aim or documentation rather than mechanical fault.
