2011 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YB60 AKK

This Mazda 6 presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile based on the available DVSA records. The most recent test on 26 April 2024 resulted in a pass at 116,032 miles with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen year old vehicle. It covered 7,025 miles between February 2022 and February 2023, and another 7,357 miles by February 2023. The usage slowed significantly between February 2023 and April 2024, adding only 7,357 miles over fourteen months. This steady accumulation indicates the car has avoided long periods of standing, which helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, which are common weak points for this model. The record suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers often overlook early surface rust on subframes if it does not compromise safety. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads manually, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life despite the clean MOT history. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed regularly, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness rather than mechanical health.
