2011 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · SM61 VHP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following previous repair interventions. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2024 at 129,409 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum legal standards. While the history shows failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the previous owner addressed the identified faults effectively and maintained them. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the car covered 6,951 miles, while it added another 6,131 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized calipers or internal corrosion. The low annual mileage mitigates some risk of mileage-driven wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2022 and 2023, as the provided data does not list the exact reasons for those declines. Given the age of this Mazda 6, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframes, where rust is common in this model generation. Inspect the suspension arms for perished perished and check the brake disc surfaces for excessive pitting or thinning to ensure the recent clean MOT results reflect a well-maintained vehicle.
