2009 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YP09 TWV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on May 28, 2026 at 127,995 miles identified both front tyres as being near the legal limit with significant edge wear. This follows a trend seen in 2023 and 2024 where tyres were consistently flagged for being bald or damaged, suggesting that components are often only replaced once they reach a failure point. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a steady progression of use, with roughly 8,200 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 6,200 miles between June 2025 and 2026. This regular use indicates the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and gaskets, though the total mileage increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and suspension systems. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the repeated reports of edge-worn tyres in 2023, 2024, and 2026 indicate potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The braking system also requires attention; the 2024 record noted a pitted nearside front disc and thin offside rear pads, suggesting uneven wear or neglect. Given the age and mileage of this Mazda 6, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the artwork arches and sills is essential, as these are common failure points for this generation that are not explicitly detailed in the MOT advisories.
