2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LC14 KXF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 2 July 2025 at 96,192 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of recurring mechanical issues. While the car failed its previous test in July 2024 due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp and suspension wear, the subsequent pass just one year later indicates that the owner addressed the electronic fault and the mechanical defects to meet minimum standards. At 96,192 miles, this twelve-year-old Mazda 6 has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year. This mileage profile is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows steady progression, with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles recorded before the most recent inspection. This regular interval suggests the car has seen sufficient use to prevent the degradation of various components often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the record highlights a persistent issue with worn lower control arm bushes spanning from 2023 to 2024. Although the 2025 test showed no further defects, a physical inspection is necessary to ensure these rubber components have been properly replaced and are not beginning to tear or delaminate again. The previous failure related to an inoperative engine management light also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain and the engine management system is functioning correctly.
