2007 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · HT07 BFP

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 14 July 2023 at 166,284 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a similar clean pass on 21 July 2022. While the record shows a failure on 20 July 2022, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue resolved within twenty-four hours. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It covered 1,835 miles between the July 2022 and July 2023 tests, which is notably low compared to its lifetime average of 8,752 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle may have been used sparingly or left stationary for extended periods in the three years leading up to the current date of July 2026. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Mazda 6 models of this era are prone to significant corrosion on the rear subframes and sills, which the MOT record does not explicitly detail as a recurring issue but remains a high risk for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The long gap since the last test in 2023 means the current roadworthiness is unknown. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for perishing or flat spots caused by inactivity. Check for perished rubber bushes in the suspension and ensure the engine oil and coolant have been refreshed. Given the lack of recent testing, a full mechanical health check is necessary to identify any degradation that has occurred since the 2023 pass.
