2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LC14 VMF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-08 at 158,495 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-07-30 (147,494 miles) and 2023-08-01 (134,625 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date (2023-08-01) recorded no defects. This suggests the car has maintained compliance with safety standards, though the unexplained failure on 2023-08-01 warrants scrutiny. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, implying consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 158,495 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 13,208 miles annually, exceeding average usage for its age. This high accumulation rate likely accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. Notably, the 2022-07-19 test at 121,451 miles passed without defects, suggesting no immediate concerns at lower mileage. However, the rapid increase from 121,451 to 134,625 miles between 2022 and 2023 (13,174 miles in 13 months) may indicate heavy usage, potentially stressing the drivetrain and braking system. The MOT history lacks detailed fault reports, offering limited insight into underlying mechanical trends. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be verified, as age and usage can compromise these areas. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the absence of detailed defect notes means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition. The 2023-08-01 failure, though unexplained, underscores the need for thorough checks on systems likely affected by prolonged use.
