2016 Mazda 6 Sport NAV D 2.2L Diesel · EN65 RBZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 at 73,766 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-08-27 at 73,496 miles resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential procedural or technical inconsistencies. Earlier failures in 2024-08-30 and 2024-08-13 at 68,456 and 68,108 miles, respectively, also showed no defects, raising questions about the reliability of these outcomes. While the latest pass is positive, the pattern of unexplained failures may indicate unresolved issues requiring further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,766 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,377 miles over its 10-year lifespan, reflecting typical wear for its age. A gap between the 2023-08-05 test at 62,177 miles and the 2024-08-13 test at 68,108 miles suggests a 5,931-mile increase over 12 months, which is consistent with normal usage. No significant spikes or drops in mileage are evident, though the absence of detailed defect reports in the failures limits insight into specific maintenance needs. The clean 2025 pass implies recent corrective actions, but the lack of transparency in prior failures warrants caution. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOT failures without recorded defects may hint at unresolved issues like binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should also be checked for excessive wear, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity and corrosion, particularly in areas prone to road salt, require visual assessment. While the latest MOT confirms compliance, the history of unexplained failures underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the car’s mechanical condition beyond recorded data.
