2005 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · GF55 ATO

The Mazda 6 presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 1 September 2021, where it passed at 138,518 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. The vehicle has not been tested since September 2021, leaving a near five-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026, which means the current on-road condition is unverified by MOT data. The recorded mileage shows light annual use for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,596 miles per year. Between the 4 August 2020 test at 133,961 miles and the 1 September 2021 pass at 138,518 miles, the car covered only 4,557 miles in thirteen months. Two failed tests appear in the record, on 17 August 2021 at 138,229 miles and 5 August 2019 at 128,619 miles, yet both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. The clean pass history with no advisories suggests previous owners kept basic consumable wear under test limits, though the absence of flagged items gives no insight into underlying component condition. A buyer should commission an independent inspection before purchase given the lapse since the last MOT. The DVSA record shows no corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures across the timeline, but the 2019 and 2021 failures with zero defects demand clarification from the seller as to their nature. At 138,518 miles, expect age-related degradation to structural integrity and drivetrain mounts not captured by pass results. Prior to committing funds, verify the subframe and sills for rust, check coil springs and calipers for binding, and confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet road standards after years of potential storage. The low mileage implies gentle use, yet standing time accelerates rubber perishing and brake seizure unseen in the supplied data.
