2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · SA59 ADO

The current roadworthiness status of this Mazda 6 appears stable, as the vehicle successfully passed its most recent MOT on 18 July 2024 at 107,698 miles. While the record shows a brief failure just two weeks prior to that pass, the lack of recorded defects suggests the initial rejection likely stemmed from a minor administrative oversight or a quickly rectified consumable issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. This pattern of passing without advisories in recent years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard, showing no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 107,698 miles over seventeen years averages to approximately 6,335 miles per annum, which is consistent with light to moderate usage for a vehicle of this age. The history shows a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between the March 2022 and August 2023 tests, followed by a slightly higher usage rate of nearly 9,600 miles in the eleven months leading up to the July 2024 test. This consistent usage profile suggests the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the premature seizure of brake components and the degradation of rubber seals often seen in long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT certificates, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle’s underside and common Mazda 6 failure points. The absence of advisories in the DVSA record does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe and wheel arch lips, which are notorious weak spots for this generation. You should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often reach the end of their service life at this mileage. Check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns that might not be captured during a standard test, and ensure the engine bay shows no signs of oil leaks or neglected cooling system maintenance.
