Our Verdict
This 2018 Mazda 6 diesel is broadly serviceable but warrants caution due to a past brake-related MOT failure and recurring front brake wear issues. Budget for immediate tyre and brake pipe attention and confirm recent remedial work before purchase.
Before buying this silver 2018 Mazda 6 diesel, ask the seller for proof that the June 2024 brake failure (front discs and pads) was properly repaired, as the vehicle passed on the same date suggesting work was done quickly. Check for a full service history confirming timely oil changes on the 2.2-litre diesel unit, and negotiate a price reduction if the front brake pipes noted as corroded in May 2026 have not been cleaned or replaced. Given the 2025 advisories for worn front tyres and perishing rear tyres, factor in a full set of tyres if not recently fitted.
The 2191cc diesel engine in this Mazda 6 typically offers strong fuel economy, though exact figures are not in the provided data; diesel tax and insurance for a 2018 family saloon are moderate. Maintenance costs should include periodic brake servicing given the history of pad and disc issues, plus tyre replacement based on the 2025 and 2026 advisories. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance are around £1,000-£1,300.
Inspect the front brake pipes closely as the May 2026 MOT noted corrosion covered in grease on both sides (1.1.11 (c)) — confirm whether this is superficial or requires pipe renewal. Check the front brake discs and pads for wear despite the 2024 repair, referencing the prior failure for seriously weakened discs and pads under 1.5 mm, and verify the 2023 thinning pad advisory was resolved. Examine all four tyres for edge wear and perishing as flagged in the 2025 test (front worn on edge, rear cracking), and review underneath for any cover-related issues noted in 2023.
NV18WFB is a June 2018 silver 2.2-litre diesel Mazda 6 with 65,006 miles recorded at its most recent May 2026 MOT, which passed with a corroded front brake pipe advisory. The history shows a single failure in June 2024 for seriously weakened front brake discs and pads below 1.5 mm, though it passed later the same day after repair. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's own MOT record, which shows steady annual mileage of roughly 8,000-9,000 miles.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mazda 6, so this guide relies entirely on the individual history of NV18WFB.
