2013 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · OV63 UER

This Mazda 6 presents a remarkably clean MOT history over its recent service life, with the most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 114,672 miles showing no defects—a strong indicator of stable mechanical condition. The vehicle has passed its last four MOTs without fail, including the two most recent annual tests in March 2025 (108,057 miles) and May 2024 (101,841 miles) , suggesting consistent upkeep and no recurring issues. The lone failure in August 2023 (100,481 miles) was an anomaly with no recorded defects, which may imply a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical problem. Overall, the trend is one of reliability, with no signs of deteriorating components or neglected maintenance in the documented period. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,821 miles per year —a figure that suggests neither excessive wear nor prolonged disuse. The gap between the August 2023 failure and the May 2024 pass (just under nine months) is slightly longer than the standard 12-month MOT interval, but the subsequent tests have adhered closely to schedule, with the latest at 114,672 miles just four months prior to expiry. There’s no evidence of rapid mileage spikes or prolonged inactivity, which would otherwise raise concerns about suspension wear, brake degradation, or corrosion. Given the absence of defects in recent tests, a buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. While the MOT record shows no advisories on brakes, a closer inspection of rear brake binding (a common issue in this model) and disc thickness would be prudent, particularly if the vehicle has been driven hard. The suspension should be checked for worn bushes or coil spring sag , as these are high-mileage wear points not always caught in standard MOT tests. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the clean history, but a look under the sills for perforating rust —especially in older Mazda 6s—would confirm long-term protection against corrosion. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be confirmed, as these are consumables not always flagged unless critically worn.
