On a 2.2 diesel, check the DPF history and the oil level. A DPF regeneration that never finishes is a bad sign, and a rising oil level with a fuel smell is a bad sign too. Ask for oil change records.
On a 2.2 diesel built up to 2013, listen for grinding or whining at about 2,500 rpm, and watch for lost power. Either is a bad sign. Ask for proof of camshaft or turbo work.
On an AWD car, look for oil at the rear angle gear and its seals. Ask for angle gear oil records. A leak is a bad sign.
On a 2.2 diesel, ask whether the injector seals were replaced. Mazda advises new seals at its 75,000-mile service, about 120,000 km. Ask about oil pressure warnings too.
With the front wheels off the ground, rock each wheel and check the ball joints and the steering for play. Play means a repair is due. Bounce each corner of the car too.
Check every open recall campaign for the VIN with a Mazda dealer. The tailgate strut, injector, brake vacuum pump and daytime running light campaigns are in the Recalls table.
