2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YC09 NJV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in December 2023 at 148,311 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards for operation. While a failure occurred in November 2022 at 139,238 miles, the vehicle was re-tested and passed just four days later, suggesting a minor or equipment-related fault that was immediately rectified without deeper mechanical fallout. At 148,311 miles, the Mazda has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year over its seventeen-year lifespan, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the October 2020 and October 2021 tests. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. The lack of significant gaps between tests since 2020 indicates a proactive approach to annual maintenance compliance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as these are common areas of concern for this generation of Mazda 6. Although the MOT record is clean of recurring mechanical advisories, the age and mileage of the 2009 vehicle necessitate a close look at wheel arches, sills, and underbody mounting for corrosion. Given the mileage, checking the condition of suspension bushes and the state of shock absorbers is advisable to ensure the vehicle handling remains sharp beyond the basic MOT test requirements.
