Due to personal circumstances, and after many months of 'yes no yes no', I have decided to officially sell the car!

I do enjoy owning this car, it's a pleasure to drive. A real good combination of good looks, performance and comfort. But needs must and all that!

I bought this car back in October 2013, it had 53k on the clock. So in my 18 month'ish of ownership I have only added 9k onto that.

-2006 (October) Mazda 6 MPS
-Titanium Grey Metallic
-61,700 miles...will go up as the car does get used!
-MOT April 2016
-Had 4 new tyres for the MOT (Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 225/40 18)
- VVT done in February by the much used David Hastie (who described the engine as 'incredibly clean inside')
-2 working keys and fobs
-Bits of history...MOT's, services, receipts
-Other bits (not fitted): Eibach lowering springs, Spam short shift plate, AUX audio cable, OBD

If you are looking at this ad now, on this owners site, I guess you'll already know the original spec of the car, so I won't harp on about the full leather interior, BOSE sound system, 4WD, power and torque etc etc!!! Did I mention the fine balance between performance and comfort?!

To me, overall, the car is in 'very good condition'. Keeping in mind it is now 8.5 years young!

The interior is pretty much spot on. 2 of the rear seat belt holsters have chew marks on (previous owner told me his dog did it!), all electrics work...windows, sunroof, mirrors, sound system, lights, heaters, seat adjustments, central locking, alarm, steering wheel controls etc. Seats are in very good condition. Carpets and original MPS matts are in very good condition.

The exterior is probably overall 'good' condition. There is a small crack in the rear bumper by the boot lid (there when I bought the car). The rear arches have the little patch of rust bubbles that seem to be quite common where the arch meets the rear bumper(something to do with the rear bumper rubbing?). I noticed these just after I bought the car and they don't seem to have got any worse. There is a small 'ding' on the offside rear door, probably from some twat opening their door onto mine. The front alloys, more so the offside alloy, have some kerbing and peeling.

Other points of note:

Air Conditioning: I know these cars suffer when it comes to air con. I realised last year that mine didn't work. One pipe seems to be leaking and the air con condenser has probably had it. I looked into this and it seems common for the condenser unit to get damaged due to its position. I decided not to get it replaced. Good or bad decision? Well, I don't miss it. The normal fans/heaters do the job for me.

Notes from recent MOT: Steering system has slight freeplay detected at steering wheel, nearside rear front suspension ball joint dust cover damaged but preventing the ingress of dirt, rear exhaust has minor leak of exhaust gases (garage did a small weld on this for the MOT)

That's it. I think I have been as honest as I can be about this car! If you want anymore pictures, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I am not in much rush to sell, and have noticed these cars seem to be climbing in value (which makes me hesitate to sell actually!), but I am open to offers.

£4,750 ono.
