2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · S30 KES

The 2014 Mazda 6 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 December 2025 at 87,380 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test shows no emissions, braking, or structural concerns, and the vehicle has consistently passed its MOTs over the past five years. The only notable advisory cluster appeared in the December 2023 test at 81,528 miles, where both front inner brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. Crucially, this defect did not recur in the 2024 or 2025 tests, suggesting the discs and pads were replaced or the issue was resolved before the next inspection cycle. The overall trajectory is one of steady upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between December 2021 at 76,227 miles and December 2025 at 87,380 miles, the car covered approximately 11,153 miles over four years, averaging roughly 2,788 miles annually in that window. Earlier years show slightly higher use, with the car reaching 76,227 miles by late 2021 from an indicated start point, suggesting a lifetime average close to 7,282 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concerns about clocking or prolonged inactivity. The annual testing pattern itself, with tests booked each December, indicates regular use and consistent ownership attention. Prospective buyers should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent record. The 2023 advisory on both front inner brake discs warrants a check of the current disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper operation to confirm the repair was done properly and not merely masked by new pads on marginal discs. The repeated mention of undertrays being fitted in 2021 and 2025 suggests the vehicle has protective covers in place, which can trap moisture and conceal corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and sill seams. A buyer should have the car raised on a jack or lift to inspect for structural rust, particularly around the rear suspension trailing arms, front subframe, and inner wing arches, which are common corrosion points on the Mazda 6 of this generation. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as the record shows no tyre-related advisories but rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth.
