2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · SL66 AEN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following its most recent test on 13 June 2026 at 91,454 miles. While the car passed, the maintenance trend is worsening as the number and severity of advisories have increased compared to previous years. The 2026 record shows a shift from clean certificates to multiple advisories involving tyre wear and structural corrosion. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 10-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage from 42,120 miles in September 2019 through to 91,454 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of long periods of inactivity, suggesting the car has been driven regularly. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear sub-frame due to the corrosion flagged in the June 2026 test. Although the tester noted it was not seriously weakened, corrosion on structural components can progress quickly. The insecure rear heatshield also requires attention to prevent noise or potential damage to the exhaust system. The recent advisories regarding nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit suggest that consumable maintenance is currently being deferred. Additionally, the June 2025 test at 81,711 miles highlighted pitted and scored rear brake discs along with thin brake pads. While these issues may have been addressed, the recurrence of tyre and brake-related advisories indicates a need to verify recent service records and the current condition of the braking system and suspension components.
