2014 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · AE14 NPU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in poor condition, as evidenced by the failure of the rear coil spring in the March 2026 test at 70,680 miles. While the most recent test passed, the failure of the spring indicates a recurring structural risk that has not been addressed, suggesting the owner may have prioritized routine maintenance over critical component replacement. The mileage trajectory is not stable; the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles between the March 2026 and March 2025 tests, dropping from 70,710 to 67,343 miles. This gap suggests the owner may have been driving less frequently than the average for a 12-year-old car, potentially leading to accelerated wear on suspension and drivetrain parts that were not adequately monitored. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension and wheel bearings immediately following the March 2026 test, as the spring failure is the primary indicator of impending failure. The brake system must be checked for wear on the pad and the front suspension bushings, as the 2025 test flagged these components. Given the lack of any structural rust or corrosion in the chassis, the vehicle is not currently unsafe, but the history of a failing spring and worn suspension bushings requires immediate professional assessment to prevent costly future repairs.
