2012 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · WF12 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The final test conducted on 07 December 2022 at 107,225 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at the same mileage. This suggests a minor adjustment or a consumable item was required that was immediately rectified before the re-test, as the vehicle subsequently passed without any advisories or mechanical failure points. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between the December 2021 test at 93,611 miles and the December 2022 test at 107,225 miles, the car covered 13,614 miles, indicating a period of higher usage compared to its annual average. However, since the last recorded test is from late 2022, the vehicle has operated for nearly four years without an official inspection check, which raises concerns regarding the current state of its structural and mechanical components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the rear sills and wheel arches, as these are prone to corrosion on older Mazda 6 models. Given the significant gap in testing history, it is essential to check for signs of binding calipers, perished suspension bushes, and de-laminated rubber components. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres and the brake discs to ensure no significant wear has developed since the last DVSA record.
