2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK66 ADO

The 2016 Mazda 6 has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-27 assessment at 149,672 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No advisories or failures suggest the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage of 149,672 miles, accumulated over 10 years, equates to an average of 14,967 miles annually—a high rate for this age. Notably, the vehicle gained 50,650 miles between the 2021-06-29 test (99,022 miles) and the 2025-08-27 test, reflecting rapid usage. While annual MOTs show no gaps, this mileage growth raises potential wear risks for components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which are sensitive to high-mileage operation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle’s suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, which may degrade under sustained high mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are common issues with older vehicles. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as even minor corrosion or leaks could emerge despite the clean MOT history. The absence of recorded faults is positive, but the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection of these critical systems.
