Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the high mileage and the density of failures in the 2025 MOT, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension components. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the likely upcoming maintenance required for the corrosion noted on the anti-roll bars and sub-frame.
Request a detailed service history to see if the 'Supplementary restraint system' fault noted in December 2025 was professionally rectified. You should also check the condition of all tyres and ensure the headlamp alignment has been correctly adjusted, as these were repeat failure points.
As a 1.8L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. Fuel economy for this era of Mazda 6 typically sits in the mid-to-high 20s or low 30s MPG depending on driving style.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2009 1800cc engine are generally mid-range. However, be prepared for higher-than-average maintenance costs in the short term due to the documented issues with suspension ball joints, brake efficiency, and corrosion which may require frequent attention.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history explicitly mentions corrosion on the front anti-roll bars, the offside rear coil spring, and the rear lower sub-frame. You must check if this corrosion is progressing beyond 'not seriously weakened'.
Inspect the suspension arm ball joints, as the dust covers were noted as 'severely deteriorated' in both 2025 and 2026. Additionally, test the braking system thoroughly; the 2025 failure included imbalanced brakes, a binding offside front brake, and low parking brake efficiency. Finally, verify that the SRS (airbag) warning lamp is no longer illuminated.
This 2009 Mazda 6 has covered 163,073 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,800 miles per year. While it passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, the record shows a heavy concentration of defects in late 2025, including brake imbalanced issues and suspension deterioration. The vehicle also shows evidence of ongoing structural and component corrosion.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.6%, with common failures related to headlamps, suspension arms, and parking brake efficiency.
