2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LO64 AOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the failure immediately prior to that pass indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than preventative upkeep. While the car failed at 109,445 miles due to an inoperative offside parking brake, low efficiency, and headlamp aim, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests these specific faults were rectified to meet DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,120 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, moving from 87,724 miles in late 2021 to 109,445 miles by late 2024. This consistent usage of roughly 7,000 miles per year in those intervals suggests regular use rather than long periods standing. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest concerns regarding age-related degradation of rubber components or brake-related corrosion. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the parking brake mechanism to ensure the repairs made in December 2024 remain robust. The previous failure on both offside operation and overall efficiency often points to a seized caliper or a stretched cable that may require further attention. You should also check for rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as the MOT record does not list structural advisories, but these remain common areas of concern for this model of this age and mileage.
