Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking a high-mileage diesel saloon. The consistent MOT pass record without defects suggests a vehicle that has met minimum regulatory standards for several years running.
When viewing this Mazda 6, focus on the service history to complement the MOT data. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects, it does not confirm regular oil changes, which are critical for the 2183cc diesel engine. Check for any evidence of turbocharger health or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues, as these are common in high-mileage diesel saloons.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 128,816 miles, this car has been driven significantly more than the average for its age. Ensure you check the tyre tread and brake pad wear, as these are common consumable items that may be due given the distance covered between tests.
The 2.2L diesel engine is designed for motorway cruising, offering relatively efficient fuel economy for a car of this size. However, buyers should be aware of potential tax and insurance implications for a larger displacement engine.
Maintenance costs for the Mazda 6 typically involve standard servicing, but you should budget for potential repairs to suspension or braking components. Given the model's aggregate data, components like suspension arms or parking brakes are statistically more likely to require attention over time.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension arms and the efficiency of the parking brake, as these are identified as top failure reasons for the Mazda 6. Even though this specific vehicle has had no recent MOT failures, these are common mechanical weak points for the platform.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as headlamp failure is another common reason for MOT rejections in this model range. Given the 128,816 miles recorded, a thorough check of the underside for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks is also advised.
This 2012 Mazda 6 features a 2.2-litre diesel engine and has covered 128,816 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle has a consistent history of passing its MOT tests, with the most recent three years showing no recorded defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 7,814 miles per year, the continuous testing record provides a clear view of its recent compliance.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.7%, with common failures relating to headlamps, suspension, and parking brakes.
