Our Verdict
Approach this 2008 Mazda 6 with caution and a thorough inspection, as its MOT history shows persistent corrosion and wear issues. It remains roadworthy on paper but will likely need ongoing maintenance to keep it safe and compliant.
Given the repeated corrosion advisories, prioritise a professional inspection of the subframes, sills, and axle beams before purchase; the 2022 test noted a corroded rear axle beam and surface corrosion underneath. Use the documented wear — such as the slightly binding front caliper and worn swivel pins — as leverage to negotiate a lower price or require rectification. Request full service history to confirm routine maintenance, as the MOT data alone does not evidence cambelt, fluid, or brake servicing intervals.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine in this Mazda 6 typically returns modest fuel economy by modern standards, though exact figures are not in the provided data; road tax for a 2008 petrol saloon of this size is usually in a higher band than newer cars. Insurance group and maintenance costs are not specified, but worn brake discs, calipers, and bushes seen in the MOT history suggest above-average upkeep spend. Estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance for a high-mileage older vehicle, is around £1,200-£1,500.
The MOT history shows front sub-frame corrosion noted in 2021 and 2022 (described as not seriously weakened), plus a corroded rear axle beam in 2022, so physically check these areas for progression beyond advisory state. Inspect the nearside and offside rear axle swivel pins and bushes flagged as slightly worn in 2022, and confirm the nearside front brake caliper binding issue has been resolved. Verify tyre condition (nearside front was worn on edge in 2021), wiper blades (defective in 2022), and look for general underneath surface corrosion consistent with the 2019-2022 entries.
This red 2008 Mazda 6 (DY58TWF) has covered 105,211 miles as of its last MOT in July 2022, which is broadly typical for a 17-year-old family saloon. The MOT record shows a clean pass in 2018 and 2020, but recurring advisories from 2019 onwards highlight underbody corrosion, worn suspension bushes, and braking wear. No aggregate reliability data is available for the model, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mazda 6, so this assessment relies entirely on the individual vehicle's recorded history.
