Our Verdict
This 2017 Mazda 6 (VU17OTE) is a sensible used buy with a reassuring MOT record. Its consistent test passes and only a minor tyre note in 2023 suggest a well-maintained silver petrol saloon worth considering.
Ask the seller for full service history to confirm the 2.0-litre petrol engine has been maintained to schedule, as the MOT record alone does not show routine servicing. Use the clean MOT background as leverage, but still budget for consumables given the car is now past 100,000 miles. Confirm the V5C matches registration VU17OTE and the silver colour and March 2017 first registration to avoid any identity mismatch.
The 1998cc petrol engine in this Mazda 6 typically offers reasonable fuel economy for a large family car, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Road tax for a 2017 petrol of this size will fall under standard post-March 2017 rates, and insurance should be moderate for the model. Based on mileage of over 100,000 and a 2.0-litre petrol, we estimate typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance at around £1,200-£1,500.
The only recorded defect across the MOT history is a 2023 advisory for a near-side front tyre cut on the inner sidewall, so check all four tyres closely for sidewall damage or uneven wear given the car has since covered around 30,000 miles. Inspect the bodywork and silver paint for parking marks, and verify the 2.0-litre petrol unit starts cleanly with no warning lights. Because no model aggregate data is available, a professional inspection is wise to catch any non-MOT issues common to high-mileage 2017 Mazda 6 cars.
The vehicle has covered 102,199 miles as of its most recent MOT in February 2026, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year since first registration in March 2017. MOT history shows five consecutive passes with no failures, and only a 2023 advisory for a near-side front tyre cut that did not breach the cords. Without model aggregate data we cannot benchmark reliability, but the individual history for this 2.0-litre petrol example is clean and consistent.
No aggregate MOT reliability data was available for the Mazda 6, so this assessment relies solely on the individual history of VU17OTE.
