2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK66 AEG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-01 at 94,475 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2025-09-29 at the same mileage failed with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a minor, unresolved fault that was later rectified. Subsequent tests from 2024-10-12 (88,975 miles) and 2023-09-11 (83,693 miles) showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension issues in these records implies the car has been well-maintained, though the recent failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,475 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 9,448 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident in the MOT history, suggesting consistent, moderate driving. The 2023-09-11 tests at 83,693 miles and the 2024-10-12 test at 88,975 miles show steady progression, with no indications of excessive wear on consumables or mechanical components. The lack of recurring faults in the records supports the conclusion that the car has been driven and maintained within normal parameters. While the MOT history does not flag specific mechanical or structural concerns, the recent failed test at 94,475 miles raises questions about potential unresolved issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components are critical for long-term reliability. Additionally, checking for corrosion around the exhaust system and body panels is advisable, as age and mileage can exacerbate such issues. The absence of advisories in the records does not preclude hidden faults, so a professional inspection is recommended before purchase.
