2012 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · SC12 XGJ

The 2012 Mazda 6 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 109,806 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with three passes and two failures that recorded no defects at all. Those two failures, dated 3 October 2023 and 18 September 2025, both at matching mileages of 92,786 and 109,806 respectively, indicate administrative rejections rather than mechanical faults, suggesting the vehicle was retested and cleared the same day on both occasions. Annual mileage averages around 7,843 miles based on the recorded figures, which is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle of this class. The odometer moved from 92,786 miles at the October 2023 test to 100,810 miles by October 2024, then to 109,806 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or long dormant periods. The record is sparse but clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data in the MOT log. The lack of flagged items does not confirm component health, only that the tester recorded nothing at the time. Suspension arms, track rod ends, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for wear or binding that a no-defect pass will not capture. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern points to paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than owner neglect of consumables. Previous keepers likely kept basic upkeep current, as no tyre tread, wiper, or lamp failures appear. Verify service history to corroborate the low-advisory MOT record before purchase.
