Insight from the industry

Q

MY 2011 Mazda 6 Sport is approaching 77,000 miles. I’m torn between selling it and keeping it for a few more years. Am I likely to encounter big repair bills if I go for the latter?

A

DIESEL particulate filter (DPF) problems are common for this model, and can cost several hundred pounds to fix. Ensure your car is serviced every year or every 12,000 miles to help eliminate any issues.
