2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · VO64 GKF

The 2014 Mazda 6 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 79,182 miles. The tester recorded no mechanical or structural defects, only a minor advisory regarding a nearside rear child seat preventing full inspection of the adult seatbelt. This advisory has appeared consistently in the two most recent tests, suggesting the seat may have been left fitted for some time rather than indicating a fault. The overall record shows no recurring mechanical failures, no corrosion issues, and no emissions or braking defects across the entire documented history. The mileage accumulation is steady and entirely typical for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2022 test at 50,886 miles and the February 2026 test at 79,182 miles, the car covered approximately 28,296 miles over four years, averaging around 7,074 miles annually. This sits comfortably within normal use and suggests regular rather than sporadic driving. There are no suspicious gaps in the MOT record that would indicate long periods of inactivity or clocking concerns. The annual test pattern has been consistent, with tests typically falling in January or February each year. From a mechanical standpoint, the absence of advisories across five consecutive clean passes is notable for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No suspension components, brake system faults, exhaust emissions failures, or structural corrosion have been flagged at any point. The only recurring note is the child seat obstruction, which is an administrative limitation rather than a defect. A buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection, paying close attention to the condition of the rear seatbelt mechanism once the child seat is removed, as well as checking the underside for any signs of corrosion or impact damage that may not have been visible during a standard MOT lift inspection. Given the clean record, the sensible mileage, and the lack of any recurring faults, this example appears to have been well maintained. The tyres, brake discs, and consumable items should be checked for remaining life, as these are age and mileage dependent regardless of test outcomes. A short road test over varied surfaces will confirm whether the suspension remains tight and free of knocks, which is the most common wear point on higher-mileage Mazda 6 saloons of this generation.
