Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2012 model year cars.
- Rear Suspension Bush & Damper WearModerate
The Mazda 5 is heavy and tends to wear through its rear suspension components quickly, leading to poor handling and tyre wear.
- 1.6 Diesel DPF & Oil DilutionSerious
The PSA-sourced diesel engine is prone to DPF blockages if used for short trips, which can lead to diesel contaminating the engine oil.
