2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LN14 RYF

The vehicle shows a history of recurring mechanical and structural issues that suggest inconsistent maintenance attention. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 127,174 miles, it passed despite advisories regarding the offside windscreen wiper blade. This follows a more concerning test result in October 2024 at 115,077 miles, where the car failed due to an insecure rear exhaust shield and a nearside front wheel bearing. The presence of suspension-related failures across multiple years indicates that these components are likely nearing the end of their service life or require immediate proactive replacement. The mileage progression is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year over the last three years. The jump from 105,353 miles in 2023 to 127,174 miles in 2025 shows standard usage patterns. However, the recurring mention of offside rear coil springs in the 2023 and 2024 records suggests a delay in addressing minor faults, which can lead to more significant mechanical failures if left unchecked. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and the lower chassis. The MOT history repeatedly notes corrosion on the sub-frame and suspension arms, which necessitates a physical check to Ensure the rust is not merely superficial. The braking system also requires scrutiny, specifically the offside front brake pipe previously flagged for being covered in grease, which can hide deep corrosion or leaks. Additionally, the uneven wear observed on the rear tyres noted in 2023 suggests an alignment issue that needs resolving to prevent further tire degradation.
