2018 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · WM67 WRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive ownership pattern rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test on 22 May 2025 at 62,139 miles, it failed just one day prior at 62,133 miles due to structural failures in both rear tyres. This pattern of failure suggests the owner only addresses critical safety issues when they reach an MOT failure point, rather than monitoring consumable components during regular service intervals. At 62,139 miles over eight years, the Mazda 6 has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent between tests, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 7,700 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, though the recurring failures indicate basic maintenance neglect. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The record shows a persistent trend of thinning rear brake pads and pitted discs dating back to 2023, which were flagged again as an advisory in 2024. Furthermore, the 2025 failure for structural tears in the rear tyres indicates that the rubber may be perished or has suffered impact damage not caught in previous years. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear across all axles to rule out suspension alignment issues and verify that the current tyres are of adequate quality and not cheap temporary replacements.
