2012 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · FN12 GZC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a history of clean passes over the last several years. The most recent test on 19 August 2021 at 130,865 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the vehicle met all minimum safety and emissions standards during its final inspection, though the record has not been updated for nearly five years relative to the current date. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. Between August 2018 at 83,141 miles and August 2021 at 130,865 miles, the car covered roughly 47,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. The single failure on 14 August 2018 at 83,141 miles was immediately followed by a pass the very next day, suggesting the owner was proactive in addressing any minor mechanical issues identified by the tester. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the final three tests, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to age-related degradation. On a 2012 Mazda 6, particular attention is required regarding structural corrosion around the sills and rear wheel arches, where rust often develops between tests. The buyer should also inspect suspension bushes for perished rubber and check for leaking brake calipers, as the MOT record does not track the gradual wear of these components until they reach a failure threshold.
