2.2D 175ps Sport Nav 5dr

Poor reliability and expensive to repair

This car looks amazing in soul red, the equipment is amazing for the cost of the vehicle, however please please heed my warning before you buy. There appears to be a overall design flaw in the engine due to the position of the dpf which sits right behind cylinder 1&2, over time due to regeneration this on every 6 serviced or not will blow the cylinder head gasket I'm told by my garage this usually occurs around 100k miles.and is £800 to repair, these cars also use a twin turbo system if this fails the engine must be removed to replace the turbo, this can be anything from £1400- 2500 unfortunately for me ibought mine used. and both happened at the same time, my car was 7 months after purchase. It was fully serviced and Mazda quoted me £6000 for the repair.
