2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · AF09 DAD

The 2009 Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 18 June 2025 at 123,887 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three annual cycles. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior pass on 17 June 2024 at 117,731 miles also showed a clean sheet. This indicates the vehicle currently meets minimum statutory standards, though the record shows two anomalous fail entries with no defects logged immediately before passing retests. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,287 miles for a 17-year-old car, with the record showing 110,628 miles in July 2023, 117,731 in June 2024, and 123,887 by June 2025. The accumulation is steady at roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only clean passes and two fail entries on 19 July 2023 and 16 June 2025 where the tester logged no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT record does not capture wear below advisory thresholds. The two defect-free fails preceding immediate passes imply the car may have been presented without a valid prior certificate or with minor non-logged issues, so verify the V5C and test station notes. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes remains a risk on a 2009 Mazda 6 at this mileage and must be physically checked, since the clean MOT history offers no reassurance on hidden rust. Treat the no-defect fails as a prompt to confirm the vehicle was not repeatedly presented for rectification of unrecorded faults.
