2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · PJ16 YGD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, passing its most recent inspection on 4 June 2026 at 112,431 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a significant period of instability during mid-2025. While the most recent result is clean, the failure recorded in June 2025 indicates a period where mechanical and electrical oversights required immediate attention to return to test standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 20,000 miles between the June 2024 test at 75,189 miles and the June 2025 test at 95,782 miles. This high annual usage during that period likely contributed to the wear on components, which culminated in the multiple failures observed during the 2025 inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged as excessively worn in 2025. The presence of multiple electrical failures, including the offside rear stop lamp and registration plate lamp, suggests a potential for intermittent wiring issues or bulb neglect. Most critically, the 2025 failure due to visible smoke from the exhaust and an inoperative warning indicator light (MIL) indicates previous engine management or diesel particulate filter issues that should be verified as being fully rectified and not recurring.
