2020 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · DX69 FOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in basic maintenance standards. While it passed the MOT in April 2026 at 26,601 miles, it initially failed due to ineffective windscreen wipers and perishing on all four tyres. These issues were clearly rectified prior to the retest, but the transition from clean records in previous years to a multiple failure suggests that the owner may have been neglecting minor consumable items until the test required. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 13,101 miles in May 2023 to 26,601 miles in April 2026. This low usage typically implies that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension remains minimal. However, the long intervals between uses often lead to the specific degradation of rubber-based components, as seen in the recent failure where Low mileage can cause flat-spot or let tyres perish over time despite having remaining tread depth. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the 2026 failure flagged cracking and perishing across both axles, which is a hallmark of age-related decay rather than wear. The wiper blades should also be checked to ensure the replacements made after the failure were of quality. Given the clean history free of structural corrosion or brake defects in the previous three years, the primary concerns are potential rust on brake discs or seized calipers that can occur when a vehicle is left stationary for extended periods.
