2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · OY59 SUH

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by the two consecutive MOT failures recorded in January 2025, which occurred shortly before the current date of 2026-06-18. This indicates a significant lack of maintenance history and a clear deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2026-01-27 was a failure, followed by a similar failure in 2025-01-27, suggesting that the vehicle has not undergone adequate servicing since the 2025 testing period. The maintenance trend is unstable, as the vehicle has failed twice in a short timeframe without any recorded repairs or corrective actions. The mileage pattern reveals a critical gap in the vehicle's history, with the most recent test at 162,068 miles occurring in January 2026. This date is roughly 17 years old and corresponds to approximately 9,533 miles per year, which is typical for a 2009 model. However, the data shows no gaps between the 2025 and 2023 tests; the vehicle was tested on the same date every year from 2023 to 2025. This lack of mileage accumulation between the two failures suggests that the owner either did not drive the car regularly or the vehicle was used in a way that resulted in negligible wear on the drivetrain components. The absence of any maintenance records between the 2025 and 2023 tests implies that the owner likely did not perform routine oil changes, brake inspections, or suspension checks, which are critical for a vehicle of this age. Given the recurring faults and structural risks, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific mechanical issues. The most likely problems are binding rear brakes, which can lead to a complete loss of braking power and increased stopping distances. Additionally, the vehicle may exhibit structural rust, particularly in the exhaust system, which can compromise the engine's performance and fuel efficiency. A thorough visual inspection is required to assess the condition of suspension components, including bushings and coil springs, as well as to determine if the drivetrain is in good shape. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the brake discs and exhaust components, as these are common causes of failure in vehicles that have not been serviced in recent years.
