2018 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · SN68 FMP

The most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 70,741 miles recorded a clean pass, indicating the vehicle remains road‑worthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilised since the sole advisory noted in August 2021. No further defects have appeared over the subsequent four annual tests, suggesting any earlier brake wear was addressed and that no new structural or safety issues have emerged. Mileage has risen from 23,580 miles in August 2021 to 70,741 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 11,800 miles per year. The increase between September 2022 and September 2023 was about 9,800 miles, while the jumps to September 2024 and September 2025 each added around 14,300 miles. This acceleration in the latter two years points to more intensive use, yet the overall annual mileage remains within normal bounds for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear brake discs, confirming that pitting or scoring has not progressed beyond the advisory level. Inspection of the rear adult seat belt is advisable, given the previous obstruction by a child seat, to ensure proper anchorage and wear. Examination of suspension components—bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis or under‑carriage—will confirm that the higher recent mileage has not induced premature wear. A visual check of tyre tread depth and overall tyre condition will round out the assessment, ensuring that consumable wear aligns with the vehicle’s mileage and service history.
