Our Verdict
This 2017 Mazda 6 offers reasonable value but requires careful inspection of brake components and service history to address recurring wear issues.
Prioritise checking brake pad thickness and suspension components during inspection. Verify service history for regular maintenance records, particularly brake system servicing. Negotiate based on the 72,702-mile reading and the 2022 MOT failure. Be cautious of potential hidden repair costs related to recurring brake wear. Confirm the vehicle's history matches the provided MOT records.
The 1.998cc petrol engine likely offers moderate fuel economy, though specific figures aren't available. As a 2017 model, it falls into a lower emissions band for road tax. Insurance group isn't specified, but mid-size sedans typically range from 15-20. Brake pad replacements and periodic suspension checks will contribute to maintenance costs. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Thoroughly examine front and rear brake pads for excessive wear, particularly the front pads that failed in 2022. Check suspension components for unusual play or wear. Inspect rear registration plates for deterioration and security, as these have been flagged in multiple MOTs. Look for fluid leaks under the vehicle and test all brake functions. Verify that the 72,702-mile reading matches the odometer and service records.
The vehicle has a clean recent MOT history but shows consistent brake pad wear since 2022. At 72,702 miles, the mileage exceeds typical averages for a 2017 model. While no major defects have been recorded recently, the 2022 MOT failure highlights potential maintenance risks. The red 1.998cc petrol engine lacks model-specific reliability data, requiring buyer vigilance.
No aggregate data available for Mazda 6 models, but this example shows consistent brake system maintenance needs requiring buyer attention.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- 2.2 Diesel Carbon BuildupModerate
Soot accumulates in the intake manifold and EGR system, causing flat performance, poor economy and repeated regeneration trouble.
- 2.2 Skyactiv-D Twin-Turbocharger Wastegate and Bearing FailureSerious
On 2.2-litre Skyactiv-D (SH-VPTS) diesel engines, the sequential twin-turbocharger assembly suffers from mechanical failure of the exhaust gas regulation valve (wastegate flapper) inside the turbine housing. The pivot pin and rivet holding the flapper fatigue and shear off, causing sudden loss of boost pressure at lower RPMs and triggering fault code P0299 (turbocharger underboost) alongside severe limp mode. In addition, turbocharger bearings are vulnerable to oil starvation caused by carbonised oil and soot accumulation from DPF regeneration cycles. Replacing the twin-turbo unit requires a revised assembly, new oil feed pipes and thorough oil flush.
- 2.2 Skyactiv-D Injector Copper Washer Blow-By and Oil Pickup BlockageSerious
The 2.2 Skyactiv-D engine is prone to premature erosion of the copper combustion chamber sealing washers beneath the fuel injectors. When a washer fails, high-pressure combustion gas blows past the injector into the rocker cover, rapidly baking the engine oil into hard carbon crust and granular sludge. This carbon debris migrates down into the oil sump and chokes the fine wire-mesh oil pump pickup strainer. Oil starvation follows, triggering low oil pressure warnings, grinding exhaust camshaft lobes, vacuum pump failure (causing stiff brake pedals) and catastrophic engine seizure. Preventative replacement of injector washers and sump strainer cleaning is essential.
