Used Mazda 5
The Mazda 5 is a compact, reliable MPV tailor-made for families who need lots of space. Sold in the UK between 2005 and 2015 in two generations, it features dual sliding rear doors — not found in rivals — allowing easy access even in tight spots. Both generations offer a spacious cabin with versatile folding seats, ISOFIX mounts, and good safety scores. While not as plush as newer alternatives, it remains a great option for busy family life.
Pros
Sliding rear doors for easy access- Flexible seven-seat layout
- Excellent boot space
Cons
Cabin feels dated by modern standards- Some rivals have more technology
- Sluggish engines and a noticeable lean on corners
-
What are the key safety features of the Mazda 5?
Most Mazda 5s include anti-lock brakes, airbags for all passengers and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points. The second generation added stability control and updated its crash protection. The original Mazda 5 has a solid Euro NCAP rating and newer models have improved their features.
-
What engine options are available with the Mazda 5?
The Mazda 5 offers a 1.8-litre or 2.0-litre petrol engine, or a 1.6-litre diesel. The diesel is the most efficient, but also the slowest. None of the engines will help you overtake traffic, but they will all carry a full load of passengers or gear.
-
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Mazda 5?
The Mazda 5 is practical, not plush, but you can expect basics like air conditioning, a six-speaker radio and a CD player. Higher trims add Bluetooth, sat nav and parking sensors. Tech takes a back seat to simple, reliable controls though.
-
What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda 5?
Petrol Mazda 5s generally get around 40 mpg in real-world driving. The diesel option can reach up to 54 mpg, though actual results may vary. Regular servicing and eco-driving can help you get the best fuel efficiency from used models.
-
What should I check when buying a used Mazda 5?
Check the sliding doors operate smoothly and the seals are intact. Look for a service history, check for exhaust smoke on diesels and listen for suspension knocks with full loads. For added peace of mind, book a professional assessment like The AA Vehicle Inspection.
-
Are Mazda 5 cars reliable?
Mazdas have a reputation for reliability, and the 5 is no exception. The engine choices are robust, so with regular servicing you can expect few major faults. However, suspension and sliding door mechanisms can wear out over time. A well-maintained Mazda 5 should provide years of dependable, no-nonsense driving.
