Mazda CX7 - should I sell or keep?

I have owned a Mazda CX7 2.2 D Spoort Tech for three years. The car has been dealer serviced and completely reliable and I enjoy driving the car. Mileage is 20,000.

The warranty has recently expired and surprisingly the dealer has not attempted to sell me an extended warranty. Should I trade in the car now or purchase an extended warranty and keep the car for another two years?

Check the CX-7 entry in www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar and make your decision on the basis of that. I'd be inclined to get out before DPF problems start because this is the older, pre-Skyactiv engine.
