2018 Mazda 6 2.5L Petrol · KT68 ARO

The most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 resulted in a pass at 31,418 miles, with an advisory noting that the off‑side rear inner brake disc is worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a)(ii)). A similar advisory appeared in the December 2022 MOT, when both rear brake discs were recorded as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and the nearside front tyre was close to the legal limit. This shows a recurring pattern of rear‑brake‑disc surface wear that has persisted over the intervening years. The vehicle’s mileage is low for its age – roughly 3,900 miles per year – which may indicate limited use or periods of standing. Low mileage alone does not explain the disc wear; standing can promote surface corrosion and pitting, which aligns with the observed disc condition. There is no evidence of heavy‑use wear on other components. For a buyer, the priority checks are: - Measure the thickness and inspect the rear brake discs for pitting, scoring or corrosion, especially on the off‑side inner side. - Check the front tyres for tread depth and any edge wear, and confirm they have been replaced if needed. - Look for signs of standing‑related corrosion on suspension and brake components, and review any service records for brake‑disc replacement.
