2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LN14 RYX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward addressing wear-related components. The most recent test in August 2022 at 93,536 miles passed despite advising on worn offside and nearside front suspension arm bushes and rear wishbone bushes. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate that the vehicle is reaching the end of the functional life for several rubber suspension components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2019 at 66,031 miles and August 2020 at 79,936 miles, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles over the subsequent two years. Given the last MOT was conducted in August 2022, the vehicle has operated without a fresh certification for nearly four years from the current date, which represents a significant risk for any prospective buyer. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the suspension geometry, as the recurring mentions of worn bushes in 2022 and 2018 suggest the rubber components are deteriorating. The buyer should also verify the brake system thoroughly; the history shows worn and pitted discs in 2018 with continued wear noted in 2021, indicating the braking hardware may be nearing its minimum thickness. Furthermore, given the age of the Mazda 6, a detailed check for structural corrosion on the sills and mounting points is essential, as the record does not explicitly rule out integrity issues over time.
