2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LL65 UOR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 12 March 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend shows a positive trajectory. While the 2024 inspection highlighted several mechanical and electrical concerns, the subsequent tests in December 2025 and March 2026 were clean. This suggests a period of corrective maintenance has taken place, although the absence of advisories in the most recent tests does not automatically guarantee that all previous long term wear items have been fully resolved. With a recorded mileage of 144,358 miles over a ten year period, this vehicle has averaged approximately 14,436 miles per year. This is considered high usage for a passenger vehicle of this age. Such mileage typically results in accelerated wear on critical drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and engine seals. While high mileage often suggests the car has spent significant time on motorways, which is generally less taxing on the engine than urban stop start traffic, the overall mechanical fatigue on the chassis and consumables will be more pronounced than on a lower mileage example. Particular attention must be paid to the advisories noted in August 2024. The mention of an oil leak requires a thorough physical inspection of the engine bay and underbody for fresh residue or staining. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any steering drift or uneven tyre wear, as the previous report of inner tread wear suggests potential misalignment or worn suspension components such as track rod ends or bushes. Any clunking noises when traversing uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel at low speeds would further indicate that the suspension system is reaching the end of its service life. The previous reports of a warning light and a loose sensor wire, possibly related to the ABS system, necessitate a careful check of the instrument cluster upon ignition and during operation to ensure no faults remain. Given the high mileage, it is also essential to verify the service history for evidence of timely oil changes and general drivetrain maintenance. The buyer should inspect the brake discs for significant lipping or corrosion and check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, ensuring that the current set of tyres provides adequate grip and is not merely legal in depth.
