2009 Mazda 6 1.8L Petrol · YK58 AHU

The 2026‑04‑02 MOT passed the Mazda 6 with only minor defects, confirming its current roadworthiness. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern since the 2023 failure, with no major mechanical failures in the three subsequent tests. The vehicle has accumulated 146,452 miles over 17 years, averaging 8,615 miles per year, but the mileage curve shows acceleration: from 106,300 miles in March 2023 to 128,966 miles in March 2025, a rise of 22,666 miles in two years, and from 128,966 miles to 146,452 miles in April 2026, an increase of 17,486 miles in just over a year. A buyer should therefore examine the rear sub‑frame for corrosion, the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, and the wear pattern on the front and rear brake discs and pads, which have repeatedly been noted as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. Additional inspection points include the parking brake efficiency, the condition of the headlamp light output, the integrity of the under‑trays and structural components, and the overall tyre tread and sidewall condition, as the history records recurring tyre wear and occasional inoperative lamps.
