2014 Mazda 6 2.2L Diesel · YR64 RVC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, but it did so with several advisories that indicate immediate maintenance is required. There is a clear, recurring pattern of neglect regarding the front suspension. The front lower suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in 2022, noted as perishing in 2025, and remain worn in the latest 2026 report. This indicates that the components have not been replaced and have been allowed to degrade over several years. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. The most recent test shows a spike in required work, with both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and the front brake pads wearing thin. The specific mention of edge wear on the front tyres in both 2024 and 2026, combined with the persistent suspension issues, suggests a likely problem with wheel alignment or failing bushings. The mileage of 105,178 miles is typical for a 12-year-old car. This suggests steady, regular use, meaning the wear on the consumables and suspension is consistent with its age rather than resulting from extreme hard use or long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the front tyres for uneven edge wear and check the remaining thickness of the front brake pads.
