Our Verdict
This 2015 Mazda 6 diesel has a mixed MOT history with recent failures, but its overall condition remains acceptable for a vehicle of its age. Exercise caution with the failed components and verify repair history.
Prioritise inspecting the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint, rear bumper, and windscreen washer system following the 2026 failure. Check for documented repairs to these issues. Review service history for regular maintenance, particularly tyre replacements given the repeated tyre-related failures. Negotiate a discount for the failed MOT items and consider a pre-purchase inspection. Be wary of potential hidden corrosion or bodywork damage from the bumper failure.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.2L engine is moderate, averaging 40-45 mpg on the motorway. Tax band is £140 annually (2026 rates for CO2 146-155g/km). Insurance group 18 is average for a 2015 saloon. Typical maintenance costs include £150-£250 for tyre replacements (evidenced by multiple MOT failures) and £200-£400 for suspension repairs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and surrounding suspension components for wear. Inspect the rear bumper for damage or replacement, checking for signs of bodywork repairs. Test the windscreen washer system for functionality. Examine all tyres for uneven wear, cracks, or near-limit tread depth. Check underbody for corrosion, especially around the suspension and bumper areas. Verify that the child seat anchor points are not obstructing belt inspections.
The 2015 Mazda 6 (VK15BGV) has a clean recent MOT (2026) but shows recurring tyre issues and a notable failure in 2026 for suspension and bodywork defects. With 105,961 miles, it exceeds average mileage for its age, though the diesel engine is generally reliable. No model-wide reliability data is available.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Mazda 6, but diesel engines of this era generally require careful maintenance of suspension and bodywork components.
