Our Verdict
This 2017 Mazda 6 offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of brake components and tyres. The recent MOT pass is reassuring, though past failures indicate potential maintenance needs.
Prioritise checking the brake discs and tyres for wear, as these were flagged in multiple MOTs. Verify that the offside front headlamp was repaired after the 2025 failure. Review service records to confirm regular maintenance, particularly brake and tyre checks. Negotiate based on the 2025 MOT failures, but the recent pass suggests improvements have been made. Be cautious of potential recurring issues with rubber components like tyres.
The 2.0L petrol engine likely offers decent fuel economy, averaging 35-40 mpg. Tax for 2026 would be £155 (standard rate for 2017 models). Insurance group is likely mid-range (estimate £500-£700 annually). Maintenance costs may include periodic brake disc replacements and tyre changes, with average repair costs of £100-£200 per incident. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Inspect brake discs for uneven wear and thickness, as these were flagged in 2025 MOTs. Check tyres for cracks or perishing, especially on the nearside and offside rear. Test the offside front headlamp to confirm it works correctly. Look for signs of repeated tyre damage, which may indicate alignment issues. Review service history for brake and tyre maintenance records.
The Mazda 6 has a mostly clean MOT history with recent success, though it shows recurring issues with brake discs and tyres. At 79,618 miles (slightly below average for its age), it offers reasonable mileage but may require attention to worn parts. No model-wide reliability data is available, so focus on this vehicle’s specific history.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Mazda 6 model, so reliability must be assessed on a per-vehicle basis.
