PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY!
My daily driver and it stops, starts and runs perfectly however has faults so is sold cheaply accordingly.
Firstly, when accelerating hard under load there is a very slight noise and vibration - could this be the clutch/dual mass flywheel? At all other times it drives really well and there is zero clutch slip/smell but I am not sure as to what the problem is so I am selling it cheaply.
Occasionally the DPF filter light comes on though the car drives impeccably and according to the internet this warning light is used by Mazda to advise a service is due, which it is. I have just changed the air and cabin filters and tomorrow will change the oil for the correct grade and change the oil filter too. It is 7500m since its last oil change and has not used a single drop of oil in that time (and the oil is still in great condition). The car is NEVER used for short journeys as we have an electric car for that.
The windscreen washers (not wipers which work fine) have just stopped working though the motor in the washer bottle is still working fine.
Three tyres seem to lose a little air over time though Quick Fit can find no punctures?
The
One of the wheels is slightly different though the matching one is the spare in the boot.
The wheels are scabby!
It is missing one of the cords from the rear parcel shelf.
Two of the small metal blanking holes for the roof bars are missing.
I managed to reverse into the corner of my house and hence the rather scarred o/s corner of the rear bumper.
The steering rack creaks above 25 degrees.
The suspension creaks below about 5 degrees.
However...'did a 370 mile day trip last month and the car went superbly on the motorway.
It always starts first time whatever the weather and runs with no issues.
It had a new, quality battery last year.
I have had the vehicle for 20 months and am only the second owner.
As can be seen the car has a full, verifiable Mazda service history until Aug 2023, being serviced every year without fail.
The air con works well.
The tyres are all circa 3.00 - 4.00 mm.
All electrics work well.
The brakes are good though the pedal travel a little soft so could do with a bleed?
No fluid or oil leaks.
No holes/rips or tears in the seats though the interior is a tad scratched in the back.
The paintwork is still shiny and free of major blemishes apart from the rear bumper.
Full book pack. One fully working remote key.
Sensible offers considered.
