2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · BC16 CHL

The Mazda 6 holds a current MOT pass secured on 19 June 2026 at 111,104 miles with zero recorded defects, pointing to a recent rectification of past issues and an improving short-term maintenance trend. Earlier inspections reveal a stubborn pattern of mechanical neglect, specifically involving rear suspension components and braking hardware that repeatedly caused annual test failures. Mileage accumulation sits at an entirely predictable average of roughly eleven thousand miles per year across its ten-year lifespan, tracking smoothly from 24,353 miles in May 2019 up to the current odometer reading. Gaps between annual tests remain strictly consistent at roughly twelve months, confirming the vehicle saw regular, uninterrupted deployment rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers must thoroughly inspect the rear suspension and braking systems during a physical viewing, as both areas show deep-seated recurring faults. Rear coil springs corroded extensively and required failure-level attention in July 2022 and June 2025, while a nearside spring actually fractured in July 2021. Rear brake pads wore down past legal limits in July 2022 and June 2025 alongside pitted discs in 2021, proving that the rear axle demands persistent monitoring for accelerated wear and tear.
