2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · FD14 MYU

The 2014 Mazda 6 presents a stable and largely improving maintenance trend at 81,985 miles. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 passed, with only a minor advisory for a worn, pitted, or scored rear brake disc that was not seriously weakened. This marks a significant improvement over the November 2023 failure, where the tester flagged an ABS warning lamp and a corroded nearside front brake pipe. The subsequent clean pass in December 2023 and the January 2026 pass suggest those active faults were addressed, leaving only a minor brake disc advisory in the latest record. The mileage accumulation of roughly 6,832 miles per year is typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle and indicates consistent use rather than prolonged standing. The record shows a steady progression from 71,480 miles in October 2022 to 81,985 miles in January 2026, with no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. The MOT history is reasonably complete, with annual tests recorded, though the November 2023 failure and immediate retest in December 2023 suggest a short period of active repair work. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the braking system and front suspension components. The October 2022 test flagged worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both front corners, and while these did not result in excessive movement at that time, twelve years of use and nearly 82,000 miles mean these bushes may now require replacement. The repeated corrosion advisories on brake pipes across multiple tests, combined with the January 2026 rear brake disc advisory, point to a vehicle that has seen moisture exposure and may benefit from a thorough underside inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around brake lines, subframes, and suspension mounting points. Tyre condition and exhaust emissions performance should also be verified, as these were not flagged in recent tests but remain consumable items at this mileage.
