2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · CE64 TSO

The Mazda 6 is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-06-11, passing with advisories on rear brake discs and both rear tyres showing inner-edge cracking. While the brake discs are worn and scored, they are not yet seriously weakened, and the tyre damage is limited to the outer edges, suggesting the issues are manageable rather than critical. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of recurring problems, particularly with front tyres and brakes, indicating that while the vehicle remains compliant, it may be approaching a point where more significant repairs could be needed soon. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 140,112 miles over 12 years, averaging about 11,676 miles annually, which is within the typical range for its age. The MOT history reveals a consistent pattern of front tyre wear, with multiple tests flagging near-limit tread on both front tyres. Mileage increased from 113,290 to 127,048 between June 2024 and June 2025, and then to 140,112 by June 2026, suggesting regular use. However, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs is notable—nearly a year with no inspection—raising questions about whether the vehicle was driven regularly during that time or if maintenance was neglected. Recurring issues with front brake pads and discs, including a failure in June 2024 due to severely weakened discs, point to potential problems with brake system maintenance or driving habits. The consistent tyre wear, especially on the front axle, may indicate alignment issues or suspension wear. Buyers should inspect the front suspension components, including control arms and bushings, for signs of wear or sagging. Additionally, the rear brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these were flagged in the last two MOTs. Structural integrity, particularly around the rear wheel arches and underbody, should also be examined for corrosion, as older vehicles with this mileage often develop rust in these areas.
