Our Verdict
This 2011 Mazda 6 diesel shows mixed reliability signals. While recent MOTs indicate passing, corrosion and tyre issues suggest potential maintenance concerns. Suitable for cautious buyers willing to inspect thoroughly.
Prioritise a full mechanical inspection of the suspension system, particularly the lower arms and sub-frame noted in 2024 MOTs. Check tyre condition and tread depth, as the offside front tyre was near legal limits. Verify service history for oil changes and diesel particulate filter maintenance. Negotiate based on corrosion repair costs and consider a pre-purchase survey for hidden damage.
Diesel fuel economy averages 40-45 mpg, but 125k+ mileage may reduce efficiency. Tax band depends on CO2 emissions (likely £140-£165 annual rate for pre-2017 diesels). Insurance group 18-20 is typical. Major maintenance costs could include suspension repairs (£300-£600) and tyre replacement. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on corrosion in the suspension system (lower arms, sub-frame) and check for rust on underbody panels. Inspect tyres for uneven wear and ensure the windscreen washer system functions. Test the parking brake mechanism and verify no unaddressed MOT failures. Check for diesel particulate filter issues via OBD scanner.
The 2011 Mazda 6 has a mostly clean MOT history but shows corrosion issues on suspension components and a tyre failure in 2025. With 125,974 miles, the mileage is above average for its age. Recent MOTs confirm functional safety but highlight wear-prone areas requiring attention.
No aggregate data available for Mazda 6 models, but diesel variants from this era often face suspension corrosion and tyre wear issues.
