2017 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · FN17 HBB

The Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 30,948 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope during this period. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a 2017 registration. The car covered just 3,152 miles between the July 2021 test at 15,011 miles and the August 2022 test at 19,633 miles, then 4,727 miles to August 2023 at 24,360, 3,436 to August 2024 at 27,796, and 3,152 to September 2025 at 30,948. This equates to roughly 3,400 miles per year. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglect, though low standing mileage can conceal perished rubber components not visible to the tester. A buyer should still verify suspension bushes and droplinks for age-related cracking, as nine years of low use can harden rather than wear these parts. Brake discs and calipers warrant a physical check for corrosion or binding after prolonged inactivity, even though the record shows no brake defects. Inspect underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not degraded from standing. The MOT data shows no recurring problems, but a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the vehicle's low-use profile.
