2022 Mazda 6 Sport 2.0L Petrol · LM72 YEV

A recent failure regarding tyre specification and current wear indicates a lapse in the consistency of tyre maintenance. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 8 July 2026, this followed an immediate failure on the same day due to mismatched tyre sizes on the rear axle. This trend contrasts with a clean pass on 22 July 2025, suggesting that these specific roadworthiness issues have emerged recently rather than being a chronic pattern. The recorded mileage of 45,213 miles is consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,303 miles per year. This steady accumulation suggests the drivetrain and suspension have been subjected to regular, predictable wear rather than the risks associated with prolonged standing or the accelerated degradation found in high-mileage examples. The failure on 8 July 2026 was caused by a major defect where tyres of different sizes were fitted to the same rear axle. While this was rectified to achieve a pass, it necessitates a verification that all current tyres are of the correct manufacturer specification and size for this specific Mazda 6 Sport trim. The remaining advisory regarding the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit on the edge indicates that this component requires immediate replacement. Because the front tyre wear is specifically noted on the edge, there is a likelihood of incorrect wheel alignment. On a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering drift or a pull to one side, and listen for abnormal road noise that may stem from uneven tread wear. Ensuring the vehicle tracks straight under light steering inputs will determine if a professional alignment is necessary alongside the tyre replacement.
