2016 Mazda 6 SE-L NAV D 2.2L Heavy oil · LL66 LCX

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 20 March 2025 at 16,676 miles returned no defects or advisories whatsoever. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners successfully maintained the vehicle to meet minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation noted during the testing process. The mileage data reveals a significant discrepancy in usage patterns. Between April 2022 at 72,070 miles and April 2024 at 95,548 miles, the vehicle covered 23,478 miles in just two years, suggesting high-intensity use. However, the drop to 16,676 miles in the March 2025 test is physically impossible and indicates a clerical error on the DVSA record. If the figure of 16,676 miles is correct, the car has sat stationary for long periods, which is far below the national average for a ten-year-old Mazda. A buyer must focus attention on components affected by long periods of stagnation or sudden mileage spikes. While the MOT record is clean, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components, dry seals, and seized brake calipers due to lack of use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyres for flat spots or cracking. Given the conflicting mileage data, verifying the physical odometer reading against the recorded service history is essential to ensure the record has not been tampered with.
