2009 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · AF59 ALN

The 2009 Mazda 6 is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-04 at 127,569 miles recording no defects. This follows a pattern of passing tests in 2025 and 2024, though two consecutive failures in March 2025 and 2024 at 122,874 and 116,336 miles respectively were noted without recorded defects. The absence of critical issues in the latest test suggests maintenance has addressed prior concerns, though the repeated failures without explicit faults imply potential systemic or intermittent problems requiring further investigation. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,504 miles annually over 17 years. The vehicle’s 127,569 miles reflect steady accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes in recorded mileage between tests. The 2024-03-05 test at 116,338 miles and subsequent 2025-03-11 test at 122,875 miles show consistent annual increases, indicating regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. This pattern suggests the car has been driven moderately, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. Buyers should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the braking system, suspension, and exhaust, as these areas often develop issues in older vehicles. While MOT records do not flag specific faults, the repeated failures without defects may indicate minor but persistent problems, such as electrical glitches or alignment issues. Corrosion, particularly in the underbody or structural components, should also be checked, as age and mileage can exacerbate rust in UK climates. A pre-purchase survey by a qualified mechanic is advised to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the MOT data.
