Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mechanical inspection. While the recent MOT pass is positive, the history shows recurring issues with consumables and a specific steering component failure.
When viewing this Mazda 6, prioritize a thorough check of the steering system. The 2024 MOT failure specifically noted a missing or defective offside front steering rack gaiter, which is a critical component for protecting the steering rack from debris. Ensure this has been professionally repaired and that there is no play in the steering.
Negotiate based on the recent maintenance requirements. The most recent test in July 2025 flagged worn rear brake discs; confirm if these were replaced following the failure. You should also request evidence of a service history to complement the MOT records, particularly regarding the 2.2L diesel engine's timing belt or chain maintenance and oil change intervals.
As a 2183cc diesel, this Mazda 6 is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its age and emissions standards. You should check the specific Euro standard to determine potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges in certain UK cities.
Typical maintenance for this model includes regular diesel filter changes and brake servicing. Given the mileage, expect more frequent replacement of suspension components and tyres. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, typically fall in the mid-range for a large diesel saloon.
Specifically inspect the braking system. The July 2025 MOT failure was due to worn rear brake discs, so check for any signs of uneven wear or pulsation when braking. Additionally, verify that the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as this was a noted failure point in 2025.
Check the condition of all exterior lighting, particularly the registration plate lamps, as these were flagged as inoperative in March 2024. Finally, inspect the steering rack area for any signs of grease leakage or damage, following the previous failure regarding the steering rack gaiter.
This 2010 black Mazda 6 diesel has covered 132,132 miles as of July 2025, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,814 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of passes and failures, including a recent failure in 2025 for brake wear and washer issues. The vehicle has experienced various minor defects related to lighting, wipers, and steering components over its recent testing history.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.7%, with common failures related to headlamps, suspension arms, and parking brake efficiency.
