2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VK15 ABO

A pattern of consistent roadworthiness is evident through the recent history of this Mazda 6, with the most recent test on 27 November 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The vehicle has maintained a clean testing record for the last three consecutive years, following a period in 2021 and 2022 where minor issues were noted. This trend suggests that the mechanical components subject to MOT inspection have been addressed or have remained within acceptable tolerances, as the minor wiper blade defect from 2021 and the tyre wear advisory from 2022 have not recurred in subsequent examinations. The recorded mileage of 64,540 miles against an eleven-year age profile indicates a relatively low annual usage rate of approximately 5,867 miles. While this lower-than-average mileage typically suggests less cumulative wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, it can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. From a mechanical standpoint, such usage patterns mean that while high-wear items like engine internals may show less fatigue, other components such as rubber bushes, seals, and suspension elements may be subject to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components previously flagged in the MOT history. Given the 2022 advisory regarding front tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, it is important to inspect the current tread depth and look for any signs of uneven wear. Unevenness on the edges of the tyres can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any pulling to one side or vibrations through the steering wheel, which could indicate alignment issues or uneven tyre wear. Additionally, while the 2021 minor defect regarding the offside windscreen wiper has not reappeared, the functionality of all wiper blades and the washer system should be verified to ensure they provide clear visibility. Although no specific suspension or braking defects were recorded in the most recent tests, the low annual mileage warrants a close look at the condition of rubber components and seals for any signs of perishing or minor weeping that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Check for any unexpected knocks or clunks when navigating uneven road surfaces to ensure the suspension linkages remain secure.
