2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · MA66 AAA

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on June 11, 2025 at 78,386 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an anomalous failure just four days prior at 78,336 miles. Because the failure record shows no specific defects, this likely indicates an administrative error or a minor non-testable issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the car covered 18,817 miles, while the subsequent year saw a slightly higher increase of over 11,500 miles. This steady usage suggests regular, predictable operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is beneficial for mechanical seals and drivetrain components. The low annual mileage relative to the age suggests light use, though can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry if the vehicle is not driven. Since the MOT history is clean of structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on preventative wear items common to the Mazda 6 platform. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often perish over time regardless of low mileage. The brake discs should also be checked for pitting or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust accumulation. Given the age of the vehicle, checking the underbody for the early stages of surface rust is necessary to ensure no structural integrity issues have begun that did not appear in the digital record.
