2019 Mazda 6 2.0L Petrol · YY69 LLU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 65,012 miles passed, it identified a severely deteriorated offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. This follows a recurring issue with suspension dust covers noted in the 2025 test, suggesting that rubber components are only being addressed once they reach a point of significant degradation. The mileage progression is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 34,346 miles and the April 2026 test at 65,012 miles, the car covered over 30,000 miles. This steady rate suggests typical usage. However, the failure in April 2024 due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system indicates that electronic or sensor-related sensors may have been overlooked between annual inspections intervals. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows multiple failures regarding ball joint dust covers across the 2025 and 2026 tests. The brake system also requires scrutiny; the history shows worn and pitted discs starting in 2023 and 2024, followed by thin pads in 2025. The buyer should verify if the front discs and pads have been replaced recently, as the data suggests these components were nearing their wear limits. Additionally, the 2026 advisories regarding a cut and a nail in the offside rear tyre necessitate a physical check for internal structural damage to the tyre carcass.
