2015 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YG65 FXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that suggests reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 124,022 miles passed without any mechanical failures, though the tester noted perished rear tyres. This follows a failure in July 2024 due to a detached offside front anti-roll bar linkage, which indicates the owner addressed critical faults immediately to secure a pass on the same day. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. Between July 2022 at 88,559 miles and July 2024 at 111,840 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, showing a steady rate of accumulation. There are no significant gaps of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of seals, bushings, and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and tyre wear. The 2022 advisory regarding uneven inner tread wear on both front tyres points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may not been fully rectified. Given the previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage, a thorough check for play in the ball joints and control arms is necessary. The presence of perished rubber on the rear tyres in 2025 suggests the tyres may be reaching the end of life regardless of remaining tread depth.
