2010 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · PN60 FOU

The 2010 Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 8 May 2025 at 121,416 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows a peculiar pattern of immediate pass-fail cycles that warrants scrutiny rather than reassurance. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 7,588 miles per year across the vehicle's sixteen-year life. The record shows 110,480 miles at the May 2023 test, rising to 116,196 miles by May 2024 and 121,416 miles by May 2025, a consistent annual increase of roughly 5,000 to 5,600 miles. The DVSA data is sparse, with only three test years logged and no advisories or defects ever noted, which limits any deep mechanical inference. The repeated fail-pass pairs on 3 May 2024 and 1 to 8 May 2025 at identical mileages are anomalous. A failure with no defects recorded typically indicates an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but a buyer should confirm the failure reasons via the full DVLA certificate history. Given the clean slate of advisories, previous owners likely kept basic consumables within limits, yet the absence of flagged wear on a 16-year-old car at 121,000 miles is unusual. In person, the buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills and subframes, suspension bushes, brake disc wear, and exhaust integrity, as these common age-related faults would not surface if testers omitted advisories. Verify the V5C and MOT failure notices to rule out concealed defects behind the zero-advisory record.
