2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK66 ADX

The 2016 Mazda 6 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent September 2025 inspection at 103,755 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed full compliance, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no signs of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. Mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, increasing by approximately 10,000–12,000 miles each year. The intervals between MOTs are regular, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes that might indicate neglect or excessive wear. The 2021 test at 52,108 miles marked the start of the recorded history, and subsequent checks at 66,958, 78,415, 92,147, and 103,755 miles show a steady, predictable pattern. This consistency supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been driven under normal conditions without undue stress on components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for wear on bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system, including catalytic converter functionality, merits scrutiny for leaks or rust. While the MOT records show no issues, the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical examination is essential to confirm the integrity of these systems and identify any hidden deterioration not captured in the tests.
