2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · LT65 XKS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on December 22, 2025. However, the recent maintenance trend shows a sudden lapse into reactive repairs, evidenced by a failure just three days prior at 69,817 miles. The tester identified a fractured offside rear lower coil spring and worn front tyres. While these issues were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the presence of a broken suspension component suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they fail inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 69,819 miles, this eleven-year-old Mazda averages approximately 6,347 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual usage patterns. The mileage record shows steady progression between 2022 and early 2025, with intervals of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 miles between annual tests. This low annual mileage reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals over time. A buyer should conduct a thorough underbody inspection to check for structural corrosion, particularly given the fractured coil spring which often results from stress or age-related fatigue. The front suspension geometry should be examined for uneven tyre wear, as the December 2025 advisory noted both front tyres were worn on the edges, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, verify the condition of the remaining shock absorbers and ensure the recent spring failure has not caused secondary damage to the mounting assembly.
