Price: 5250
Mileage: 88,000 miles
Year: 2016 (Reg. 66)
History to date
For sale is my well-maintained Mazda CX-3 with the desirable 1.5-liter diesel engine. Current mileage is 88,000 miles. To be fair, this is slightly above average for a car of this age, but the car has clearly been driven on longer journeys rather than short, stop-and-go trips, which helps keep the diesel engine and particulate filter in good condition. The car has been regularly serviced and is ready to go.
Why a 1.5-liter diesel engine?
The car is equipped with the fuel-efficient 1.5-liter SKYACTIV-D engine. Don't let the 105 hp figure fool you; with 270 Nm of torque (available from just 1,600 rpm), this compact crossover offers far more than you might expect in everyday driving. It accelerates strongly in the mid-range, making overtaking on motorways and country roads easier. It boasts impressive fuel economy (officially over 70 mpg combined), has a low road tax, and avoids the high emissions charges of its petrol counterpart.
High specification (significantly higher than the base model)
This isn't an entry-level car. It's equipped with a wealth of standard equipment, including:
MZD Connect multimedia system: with rotary dial, integrated satellite navigation, DAB radio, and Bluetooth.
Comfort package: air conditioning, heated front seats, and cruise control.
Convenience: keyless start, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, and electric front and rear windows. Style: Alloy wheels and distinctive KODO Soul Red paint. Safety: City Brake Assist and rear parking sensors.
Look and Feel
The interior is above its class, offering high-quality, soft-touch materials and comfortable front seats. While the rear space is typical of a compact SUV (ideal for two adults or children), the ride comfort and "Jinba Ittai" (horse and rider) dynamics make it a true pleasure to drive.
Condition
Mechanically, the car is excellent. The engine runs smoothly, without any disturbing knocks, and the 6-speed gearbox shifts precisely. Considering the mileage, the bodywork is in excellent condition for its model year, with no major dents or scratchesonly minor chips typical of a 2016 vehicle.
