Looking for a late car without a DPF
Currently looking to replace a 53 Plate Mazda 6 with a similar car. Have found a local Mazda 6 2.2d TS2 with 35,500 miles on clock. I do around 12,500-15,000 miles a year.
We have driven the car and like it but on researching on the internet I'm concerned about the DPF failures. Is the car worth considering or should I look for a non-DPF option?
