2013 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · DA13 EAE

The 2013 Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 October 2025 at 138,495 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual examinations from 2022 to 2024 also returned clean passes. The only blemish is a failed test on 26 September 2023 at 123,883 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 118,877 miles at the 29 September 2022 test to 138,495 miles by October 2025, an average of roughly 6,500 miles per year across that span and about 10,650 miles per year overall. The gap between the 26 September 2023 failure and the 6 October 2023 pass covers only 155 miles, indicating the car was promptly retested. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident in the figures. Given the clean advisory history across five tests, the previous owner appears to have kept basic consumables and structural items within limits. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion points to no recurring mechanical trend requiring concern from the record alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes do not capture wear below test thresholds. Verify service history for cambelt and fluid intervals at this mileage. The sparse defect data implies competent upkeep, but in-person checks remain prudent on a high-mileage 2013 chassis.
