2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YR64 HFZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, granted on 2025-10-13 at 141,976 miles, following the clearance of corrosion issues on the rear brake pipes and suspension components. The maintenance trend shows a stabilising pattern; the corrosion problems that caused previous failures have been addressed and resolved, resulting in a clean pass. However, the repeated corrosion of the rear brake pipes indicates a persistent vulnerability to moisture and road salt, which may require ongoing vigilance to prevent future failures. The tyre fault, a deep cut in the ply, was rectified in the latest test, ensuring compliance. The car has accumulated approximately 1,690 miles since the previous test, a modest increase suggesting normal usage. Notably, there was a two-day gap between the failed and passed tests in October 2025, implying swift repairs were carried out. The 2024 history reveals a rapid succession of failures primarily centred on the rear brake pipes and a windscreen wiper issue, highlighting the vehicle's susceptibility to corrosion and the need for thorough checks of the braking system. Prospective buyers should conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of the rear brake pipes for any fresh corrosion or grease contamination. Additionally, a test drive is recommended to verify that the brakes do not bind and that the rear suspension components show no signs of further weakening. The front wiper assembly should also be examined to ensure it clears the windscreen effectively.
