2011 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · DA61 AEO

The 2011 Mazda 6 holds a current roadworthy status with a stable maintenance profile, confirmed by the 2 May 2025 MOT at 79,253 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Annual tests from 10 May 2021 through 4 May 2024 each returned passes at 58,322, 66,021, 71,012 and 75,682 miles respectively. The absence of advisories across five consecutive examinations shows no worsening trend and no recurring mechanical faults. Recorded mileage remains low for a vehicle of this age. The clock advanced 20,931 miles between the May 2021 and May 2025 tests, averaging 5,233 miles per year against a typical fleet expectation nearer 8,000 to 10,000. Increments stay uniform at roughly four to five thousand miles annually, with no diagnostic gaps or sudden accumulation. Such restrained use points to a keeper who prioritised light duty and likely stored the car during adverse periods. Buyer should still arrange physical scrutiny of components prone to silent degradation on a fifteen-year-old chassis. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bush wear or brake disc pitting, yet testers often miss intermittent binding calipers or early coil spring fractures. A pre-purchase inspection ought to measure tyre tread depth, assess exhaust emissions on a cold start and probe structural integrity beneath sills. The clean test history implies disciplined statutory compliance, but low mileage alone does not certify drivetrain health.
