2009 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · SH59 WKO

The 2009 Mazda 6, now at 96 500 miles, passed its most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 with no defects recorded. The only earlier failure, on 16 June 2025, was an exhaust emissions leak, which was rectified before the 30 June 2025 pass. No other recurring faults appear in the record, indicating a stable maintenance trend for the vehicle’s mechanical condition. Mileage growth has been steady. From 83 155 miles in May 2023 to 96 500 miles in March 2026, the car accumulated 13 345 miles over 34 months, averaging roughly 393 miles per month. The jump from 88 003 miles in June 2024 to 93 489 miles in June 2025 added 5 486 miles over twelve months, again within normal operating ranges. The low overall mileage for a vehicle of this age implies limited wear on consumables, though periods of inactivity cannot be ruled out. A prospective buyer should examine the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter for leaks, as the 2025 failure indicates a potential issue. The 2023 binding rear brake warrants inspection of caliper play, pad wear, and disc integrity. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for cracking or loss of resilience, particularly at the rear. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and uniformity. Corrosion assessment is advised, focusing on wheel arches, chassis mounting points, and the rear suspension frame. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, while consumables, will reveal the owner's maintenance habits. Finally, verify the battery health and engine oil level, as low mileage may mask long periods of storage. Overall, the vehicle demonstrates a consistent maintenance record with no major recurring defects. The low mileage and regular MOT compliance suggest that, with thorough inspection of the flagged components, the car should remain roadworthy.
