2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · CV65 MZJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 109,431 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to critical safety defects including a missing wheel nut on the offside front and structural failures in the tyres. The recurrence of thin front brake pads and deteriorating tyre condition across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when they became immediate failure points during testing testing. At 109,431 miles over 11 years, the Mazda 6 averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family car. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,200 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady mileage indicates the car has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, specifically the anti-roll bar ball joints which were previously flagged for severe deterioration in 2024. The 2025 failure regarding a structural bulge in the nearside rear tyre and uneven wear on the front tyres indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that could continue to cause premature tyre failure. Given the recurring history of thin brake pads, the remaining life of the brake discs should be checked for excessive scoring or pitting to ensure they do not require immediate replacement alongside the pads.
