Our Verdict
Approach with caution and budget for immediate maintenance before buying this 2015 white Mazda 6 diesel. The MOT history shows a prior failure and recurring corrosion and tyre wear issues that need addressing.
When negotiating on this Mazda 6, use the December 2023 MOT failure and the December 2025 advisories for tyre wear and rear axle corrosion to seek a price reduction covering at least four tyres and an underbody inspection. Request the full service history to confirm the timing chain and diesel emissions components have been maintained, as no aggregate model data is available to offset the high mileage risk.
As a 2191cc diesel, this Mazda 6 will typically return reasonable fuel economy but faces higher tax and ULEZ scrutiny compared to petrol equivalents; insurance group is likely mid-range for the class. Routine maintenance such as brake pipe checks and tyre replacements will add up given the wear patterns seen in the MOT record. Estimated annual running cost is £1,000-£1,300 including fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep.
Inspect the brake pipes closely, as the 2023 MOT recorded corrosion on the nearside front and offside rear pipes, and the 2022 test noted nearside front service brake binding. Check the front suspension arms and offside front anti-roll bar ball joint, both flagged as worn in the 2023 failure, and verify they were properly replaced. Examine all four tyres for edge wear and legal compliance given the December 2025 advisory, and assess the rear axle corrosion noted at the last test for structural significance.
This March 2015 registered Mazda 6 (YG15UBV) is a 2.2-litre diesel with 141,742 miles recorded at its last MOT in December 2025, which is high for an 11-year-old car. The MOT history includes one failure in December 2023 for brake pipe corrosion, worn suspension components and a tyre puncture, though it passed the following day after repairs. Recent tests show tyres worn close to the limit and rear axle corrosion, indicating ongoing wear that a buyer must factor in.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mazda 6, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
