2018 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · CP67 FTK

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a stable and currently improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 27,858 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from advisories in 2024 to clean passes thereafter suggests the current ownership is proactive in rectifying necessary repairs. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of 5,950 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. While the low mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion of brake discs if the car is neglected during long periods of standing stationary. A prospective buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front-end assembly and braking system, as the 2024 test at 16,423 miles flagged thin front brake pads and unevenly worn tyres. Although these are consumable wear items, the edge wear on the tyres could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires verification. It is also advisable to check the current state of the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from oxidation when the brakes are not used frequently enough to keep the metal clean.
