2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VO09 XFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of intermittent testing failures. The most recent test on 9 December 2021 at 181,330 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the history of failures immediately preceding passes in both 2020 and 2021 suggests the owner only performs reactive repairs to pass inspections rather than conducting proactive preventative maintenance. At 181,330 miles over 17 years, this Mazda 6 has averaged approximately 10,666 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family car. There is a significant gap in the data between the June 2019 test at 167,993 miles and the December 2020 test at 176,769 miles, during which the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles undocumented. Since the last recorded MOT in late 2021, the vehicle is now over four years out of test, leaving the current state of all mechanical and safety components unknown without a fresh inspection. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as Mazdas of this era are prone to significant structural corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for excessive wear or tearing. The lack of advisories in the final tests is also notable, as it often indicates that the tester overlooked minor wear or that components were replaced just prior to the test.
