2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK66 AEO

The 2016 Mazda 6 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 at 121,944 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive passes since 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, which indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards without recurring intervention across its later life. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 12,194 miles, a high figure for a ten-year-old car but consistent across each interval. The tester logged 82,062 miles on 4 September 2021, then 91,873 on 1 September 2022, 102,244 on 16 September 2023, 111,992 on 31 August 2024, and 121,944 on 6 September 2025. Each year added between 9,900 and 10,800 miles with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The record is sparse on fault data simply because the car cleared every test first time. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as high annual use accelerates consumable and structural wear even when MOTs stay clean. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the history suggests previous owners kept the body and powertrain reasonably sound, yet MOT passes at this mileage do not confirm component life remaining. Prior to purchase, verify the service history matches the odometer and check for underbody rust, tyre sidewall cracking, and binding calipers that a road test would expose. The clean test sheet reflects compliance, not a guarantee of deferred maintenance quality on a 122,000-mile example.
