2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · KY09 JZR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate reactive maintenance. The most recent test on 24 July 2023 at 159,539 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the exact same day. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT failures instantly to ensure compliance rather than allowing faults to persist. Since that last test, the vehicle has gone nearly three years without a formal certification, creating a gap in current mechanical verification. The mileage progression is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between the May 2021 test at 140,531 miles and the May 2022 test at 147,039 miles, the car covered 6,500 miles, while another 12,500 miles were logged before the July 2023 test. This fluctuation indicates regular road use, which is generally beneficial for preventing components like brake lines and suspension seals from seizing that often occurs during long stationary periods. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as the Mazda 6 of this era is prone to structural corrosion in the rear sills and arches. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, the high mileage puts significant stress on rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounting brackets. Given the failures recorded in 2022 and 2023 that were immediately rectified, the buyer must check for signs of fluid leaks or worn brake components to ensure that the repairs performed were not temporary fixes.
