Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a close inspection of the underside. The most recent MOT noted corrosion on the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms and mounting cups. You should ask for evidence of any recent work carried out to address these specific areas, as corrosion can progress if left untreated.
Furthermore, check the condition of all four tyres and the wheel rims. The 2025 and 2026 MOTs highlighted issues ranging from cuts and perishing to a slightly distorted outer road wheel. Negotiate on the price if the tyres appear aged or if the suspension bushes require immediate replacement, as these have been recurring failure points in this vehicle's history.
As a 2.2L diesel, this Mazda 6 is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will depend on your annual usage. You should check the specific tax band for this 2191cc engine, as diesel models from this era can vary significantly in cost.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for suspension repairs, given the frequency of advisories for bushes, arms, and ball joints. Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and preventative maintenance, are estimated to be moderate for a mid-sized diesel saloon.
Focus heavily on the suspension and steering components. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures and advisories regarding lower suspension arm bushes (both nearside and offside front) and anti-roll bar linkages. Test the car on a bumpy road to listen for knocks or clunks that might indicate worn bushes or ball joints.
Inspect the rear suspension area for signs of structural corrosion. The records specifically mention corrosion on the lower suspension arms and coil spring mounting cups. Additionally, check the windscreen for cracks and ensure the rear registration plate is securely fastened, as these were noted in the July 2026 test.
This 2013 Mazda 6 diesel presents a mixed profile. With 75,282 miles recorded in July 2026, it has been driven less than the model average of 7,753 miles per year. However, the MOT history reveals multiple failures and frequent advisories related to suspension components and tyres, suggesting maintenance may be reactive rather than proactive.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.7%, with suspension arms and parking brake efficiency being common failure reasons.
