Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and negotiate on pr
When inspecting this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the tyres and suspension. The 2025 MOT failure recorded multiple tyres that were both perished (cracking) and worn close to the legal limit. Ensure that a full set of four new, high-quality tyres has been fitted since the last test, as replacing all four will be a significant immediate cost for you.
Furthermore, verify that the suspension ball joint dust covers identified in the 2025 failure have been replaced, not just repaired. Ask for receipts to confirm these specific items were addressed. Given the 2.0L petrol engine, check for a consistent service history to ensure the vehicle has been maintained beyond just passing its annual MOT inspections.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be moderate. You should expect typical fuel economy for a mid-sized saloon of this era, likely averaging around 30-35 mpg depending on driving style. Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 Mazda 6 vary, but it typically sits in a mid-range bracket.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while the engine is generally robust, the MOT data for this model aggregate shows suspension arms as a top failure reason. Expect to budget for regular consumables like tyres and brake components, with an estimated annual running cost of £1,200-£1,500 including fuel, tax, and routine servicing.
The most critical inspection point is the tyre condition. The 2025 MOT record highlights issues with cracking/perishing and uneven wear (specifically on the inner edges of the front tyres). Check all four tyres for age-related cracking and ensure they are not worn to the legal 1.6mm limit.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components. The recent failure noted damaged dust covers on both nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints. Check for any play in the steering or unusual knocking sounds when driving over bumps, which could indicate further suspension wear. Finally, test the horn and all windscreen wiper functionality, as these were noted as defects in the recent history.
This 2010 blue Mazda 6 with a 2.0L petrol engine has covered 79,944 miles, which is relatively low for its age. However, the MOT history shows a recent failure in October 2025 involving multiple tyre defects, a non-functional horn, and suspension ball joint dust cover issues. While it had a clean record in 2024, the sudden appearance of multiple wear-and-tear failures suggests maintenance may have been deferred recently.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, suspension arms, and parking brake efficiency.
