2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · EN02 CAD

A history of consistent roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 06 June 2022 showing no recorded defects. While the 2017 inspection flagged advisories regarding rear tyre wear and thinning brake pads, the subsequent three years of testing have shown no recurring issues with these components or any other mechanical systems. This indicates a period of stable compliance following the minor wear-related advisories noted several years ago. The recorded mileage of 83,443 miles over a twelve-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,954 miles. This usage pattern is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not been subjected to the high-frequency mechanical stress associated with heavy motorway or high-mileage urban commuting. Such a profile typically results in less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages, though it is important to note that the lack of high-mileage usage does not preclude the natural ageing of rubber components or fluids. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system and tyres, as these were the specific areas of concern in the 2017 record. Although no recent advisories exist, it is prudent to check the remaining thickness of the rear brake pads and inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises during braking or a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal, which could indicate issues with the discs or calipers. Additionally, given the previous advisories regarding tyre tread depth, the current condition of the tyre sidewalls and tread should be closely examined. Ensure that the tyres are not showing signs of perishing or cracking, which can occur even with lower annual mileage. Check for any uneven wear patterns on the tread surface, as this can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. A thorough check of the tyre pressures and overall tread depth across all four wheels will confirm if the recent trend of clean MOT results is maintained.
