2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · FV65 OCZ

The 2015 Mazda 6 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 19 January 2026 at 106,331 miles returning a clean pass with zero defects recorded. This is the fifth consecutive first-time pass in the vehicle's documented history, indicating consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The absence of advisories or failures across all recorded tests suggests the car has been maintained to a competent standard throughout its life. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,666 miles per year. The intervals between tests show a steady progression: 74,616 miles in February 2022, 84,461 miles in January 2023, 90,849 miles in January 2024, 101,540 miles in February 2025, and 106,331 miles in January 2026. The slightly larger jump of roughly 10,691 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, compared to the more modest 6,388 miles between 2023 and 2024, may reflect a change in ownership or usage pattern, but nothing in the record suggests neglect or excessive strain. The data set is clean and complete, with no gaps or anomalies that would raise concern. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not continuously monitor. At 106,331 miles, suspension components such as drop links, anti-roll bar bushes, and shock absorbers may be approaching the end of their service life even if they have not yet presented a failure. The condition of the brake discs and pads should be verified, as should the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion, particularly around the rear silencer and mounting points. Tyre condition and age are worth checking, since rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Underneath the car, inspect the subframes and sills for any onset of surface corrosion, as the Mazda 6 of this era can be susceptible to rust in these areas if not kept in a dry environment. A short test drive will reveal any subtle issues with gearbox smoothness, clutch bite point, and steering alignment that a static inspection cannot confirm.
