2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · KE65 DXR

The 2026‑02‑10 MOT confirms the 2016 Mazda 6 is presently roadworthy, with the vehicle passing without any defects recorded. Although the same test required correction of an off‑side headlamp aim that was too high, the absence of further failures indicates a stable maintenance record since the previous 2025‑02‑13 pass. The mileage trajectory shows rapid use for a ten‑year‑old car: from 130,780 miles on 4 February 2023 to 135,895 miles on 16 February 2024 the vehicle accumulated roughly 5,115 miles in a year, then increased to 137,915 miles by 13 February 2025 (2,020 miles) and finally to 139,075 miles on 10 February 2026 (1,160 miles). This pattern reflects consistent annual testing with no long periods of inactivity, confirming high but steady mileage accumulation. Recurrent tyre wear on the edges and the near‑side front brake disc pitting indicate that suspension geometry and brake component condition should be examined closely; the earlier imbalance in the braking system suggests worn bushes or mis‑aligned suspension arms that may affect tyre contact and braking performance. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs and mounting points for binding or corrosion, verify the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers, check wheel alignment and tyre tread depth, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches or chassis that could compromise long‑term durability.
