2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YR64 HFW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass in July 2025 at 112,017 miles. This recent result indicates a stable maintenance trend following a period of recorded mechanical concerns in previous years. While the 2024 test highlighted several suspension and structural issues, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests the owner addressed the identified faults to bring the car back to standard. At 112,017 miles, the Mazda 6 has averaged approximately 9,335 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family car. The data shows consistent use, with a jump of 15,000 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 11,720 miles covered in the final year. This regular mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the subframe. Records show a progression of corrosion starting in 2023 at 85,014 miles where mounting areas were noted as corroded, followed by a 2024 failure for general subframe corrosion and deteriorated ball joint dust covers. Although the July 2025 test passed without defects, rust on these models is often a progressive issue that requires a close look to ensure it has not transitioned from surface oxidation to significant structural thinning. The suspension and braking systems also require scrutiny. The September 2024 test flagged deteriorated ball joint boots on both the offside front anti-roll bar and the nearside front suspension arm. Additionally, the 2022 record noted a fluctuating nearside front service brake, which typically indicates warped or thin brake discs. The buyer should check for any signs of renewed leaks or play in the steering, and verify that the components flagged in the previous years were replaced with high-quality parts.
