2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · MT64 MVE

The vehicle has a current MOT, but the most recent history indicates a downward trend in condition. While it passed on May 22, 2026, this followed a failure just four days prior due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and exhaust emissions exceeding the legal limit. The mechanical pattern suggests the car is entering a phase of increased wear. Between 2022 and 2024, the history was relatively clean, though rear brake pads and discs were flagged as worn or pitted in December 2023. The recent failure involving both a suspension component and emissions suggests that maintenance may have lagged as the vehicle's usage increased. The mileage is typical for a twelve-year-old car, averaging around 6,886 miles per year. However, there was a notable increase in usage between December 2024 and May 2026, where the car covered over 17,000 miles. This spike in activity likely contributed to the recent failure of the coil spring and the emissions issue. Because the car failed on emissions and suspension just before the sale, you must ensure these were properly repaired rather than simply patched to pass the test. The previous advisories regarding the rear brakes also suggest a pattern of wear at the back of the vehicle.
