2022 Mazda 6 SE-L 2.0L Petrol · DX72 GYS

The most recent MOT from August 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted several concerns regarding the rear tyres. Both the offside and nearside rear tyres were flagged as being worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the edges. There was also a recorded nail in the offside rear tyre. The main risk pattern involves the condition of the tyres and potential alignment issues. The fact that both rear tyres are wearing on the edges suggests that the wheel geometry may be incorrect, which can lead to rapid, uneven tyre degradation. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that consumable parts are reaching the end of their useful life. At approximately 54,321 miles, the vehicle has covered about 13,580 miles per year. This is considered high mileage for a four-year-old car, which typically suggests increased wear on mechanical components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain compared to a vehicle with lower annual usage. When inspecting the car, you should first check the tread depth and condition of all tyres, paying close attention to any uneven wear patterns. You should also inspect the suspension components and check if the steering feels straight to rule out underlying alignment or mechanical issues.
