2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LN14 RYK

The 2014 Mazda 6 presents a strong and stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 5 August 2025 at 89,708 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet follows consecutive passes in July 2023 and July 2024, demonstrating a clear improvement over the 2022 test where the tester flagged an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and an insecure rear exhaust heatshield. The resolving nature of those minor advisories suggests the previous owner addressed basic upkeep promptly. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 7,476 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The annual tests between 2021 and 2025 show consistent increments of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings. The vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which helps keep consumable components and seals in better condition than a severely underused equivalent. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion. The 2022 advisory regarding an insecure rear exhaust heatshield can sometimes point to degraded mounting points or surface rust around the exhaust system. Check the condition of the rear brake discs and pads, as well as the suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle has now covered nearly 90,000 miles. Tyre wear across all four corners should be even, particularly on the offside rear, which previously drew attention for edge wear. A brief road test will confirm the handbrake holds effectively and the exhaust remains secure under load.
