First registered on 1st August 1997, this late-production Mazda MX-6 represents one of the final examples of Mazda’s sleek V6 coupe to be offered to the UK market. Finished in silver with a grey leather interior, the car combines understated styling with smooth, refined performance from its characterful V6 engine, paired here with a manual gearbox for an engaging driving experience.
What truly sets this example apart is its remarkable ownership history. Having had just two keepers from new, the current owner has enjoyed the car since 1999, a period of over 25 years. Such long-term custodianship is rare and speaks volumes about the car’s reliability and appeal, as well as the care it has received throughout its life.
This MX-6 boasts an outstanding and comprehensive service history, supported by both its original service book and accompanying invoices. There are an impressive 31 stamped service entries recorded, of which 26 were carried out by main dealers. The servicing record spans from 1997 through to March 2026, demonstrating consistent and diligent maintenance regardless of mileage. More recent servicing has continued with supporting invoices, ensuring the car remains mechanically sound and well cared for.
In addition to routine servicing, the car has benefitted from ongoing maintenance and preventative work. In March 2026, works included replacing the nearside front brake caliper, adjusting the handbrake, and removing the nearside front shock absorber to carry out associated welding. Earlier in 2026, attention was given to the driver’s door lock mechanism, while a new battery was fitted in September 2025. Notably, in December 2023, more extensive cosmetic and structural work was undertaken, including rust repairs to the sunroof and bonnet edge, repainting and blending of the front end, and a final polish to achieve a high-gloss finish.
The car is well specified, featuring alloy wheels, air conditioning, ABS, power steering, a sunroof, and leather upholstery, all contributing to a comfortable and well-equipped driving environment. The interior is reported to be in good condition, while the exterior presents well overall, with some minor imperfections consistent with age and mileage.
Accompanied by a comprehensive history file including MOT certificates and detailed invoices for servicing and maintenance, this MX-6 is offered as a well-sorted and usable modern classic. It is reported to run and drive very well and has been driven to the auction, further demonstrating its usability.
An increasingly rare sight on UK roads, particularly in such well-documented and long-term ownership, this Mazda MX-6 represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a characterful and well-maintained example of a now underappreciated Japanese coupe.
