Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- 2.2 SkyActiv-D DPF and Oil DilutionSerious
Short-trip town use causes frequent interrupted DPF regenerations on the 2.2 diesel, allowing diesel to dilute the engine oil. This can accelerate timing-chain, turbo and bottom-end wear. The problem is severe enough to warrant regular oil-level checks between services.
- Brake Disc WarpingModerate
The front brake discs on BM/BN Mazda3s are prone to developing run-out and thickness variation, causing a judder through the steering wheel and brake pedal during braking. This is more common on cars used heavily in town with frequent low-speed stops.
