2016 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YH16 ABC

The 2016 Mazda 6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 84,041 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 10 February 2025 at 83,319 miles also passed clean. Across the last three annual cycles the vehicle has shown no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year. The record shows 68,943 miles at the March 2023 test, rising to 76,731 by March 2024, then 83,319 in February 2025 and 84,041 by September 2025. The low 722-mile gain between February and September 2025 suggests a period of reduced use. One anomaly appears in March 2024: a fail on 13 March at 76,729 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass the next day at 76,731 miles, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Given the clean MOT history with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns, the buyer faces low documented risk. The absence of recurring advisories means no worsening pattern exists in the official record. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm structural integrity underneath and check for latent corrosion or worn consumables not captured by the tests. Verify the March 2024 fail-pass sequence with DVSA to rule out any omitted fault. Otherwise, the evidence implies the previous owners maintained the car to test standard without skipping basic care.
