2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · DP14 WJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 5 September 2022 at 144,634 miles. The trend shows an improvement from the failure recorded on 24 August 2021, yet the repeated note on front suspension arm pins and rear bush wear indicates a persisting issue that has not been fully resolved. Mileage has risen from 121,992 miles on 19 August 2019 to 144,634 miles on 5 September 2022, averaging roughly 12,000 miles per year. The incremental increases of 8,693 miles between August 2019 and August 2020, 5,565 miles to September 2021, and 8,384 miles to September 2022 suggest steady use rather than long periods of inactivity. This level of mileage for a twelve‑year‑old Mazda 6 is above average and places additional wear on consumables and suspension components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension arm pins and rear suspension bushes, as both have been flagged repeatedly for wear. Inspect the near‑side rear wheel rim for distortion and verify that the rear brake pads and discs are not approaching the minimum thickness, since the 2021 failure highlighted pads under 1.5 mm and corroded discs. Examine tyre tread across all four corners, especially the front tyres noted as close to the legal limit in 2019, and confirm that the wheel rims are true and free of cracks. A visual check for any emerging corrosion on the chassis or sub‑frame will help ensure that no hidden structural degradation has been missed by the MOT.
