2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · FL59 ACJ

This Mazda 6 presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend with a clean record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 150,546 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This pattern of clean passes extends back through the 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 tests, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of consistent repair. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 17 year old vehicle. Between the October 2021 test at 122,495 miles and the October 2025 test at 150,546 miles, the car covered 28,051 miles. This averages to roughly 7,000 miles per year over the last four years, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer must remain vigilant regarding the known vulnerabilities of this specific model and age. The absence of recorded advisories is unusual for a car with 150,000 miles, so a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches. While the tester did not flag any issues, the age of the vehicle makes it prone to hidden rust that may not yet be severe enough to trigger a failure. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear and ensure the fluid is clear. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for timing belt or chain maintenance and oil change intervals is essential to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
