2013 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · WN13 XDV

This 2013 Mazda 6 passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 with 128,441 miles, but it carried two advisories for both rear tyres being slightly damaged or cracking, and a note that both headlamp lenses have a film on them that is not yet seriously reducing light output. The year before, it passed with a similar rear tyre advisory, and the test before that in 2023 flagged worn brake pads and discs at both axles, along with a defective wiper blade. The main risk pattern here is a gradual accumulation of age-related and wear-related issues rather than sudden, dangerous failures. The rear tyres have been noted as perishing for two consecutive tests, which suggests they are now old and likely need replacing soon. The brake components have been wearing thin since 2022, and while they passed the last test without advisories, the fact that pads and discs were both flagged as worn in 2023 indicates that a full brake inspection is overdue. The condition trend appears to be stable but slowly worsening. The brake warnings have not escalated into failures, but the tyre cracking has persisted and now affects both rear tyres. The headlamp lens clouding is a new advisory that may eventually reduce night-time visibility. There is no evidence of sudden deterioration, but the vehicle is not improving either. The mileage of roughly 9,880 miles per year is typical and suggests consistent use without excessive strain or long periods of standing.
