Schmieg admits he drives very little but in 11-10 years still put on 130,000 total miles which is actually the US average (except he did it with 3 vehicles).
Doogie Talons says his vehicle had 60K or 37,282 miles which is significantly less than the UK average per year.
It is my personal opinion that Mr. Talon's vehicle mileage is suspect to me. His personal assessment of the dealer (cowboy), albeit one-sided, would further enhance me to come to this mileage hypothesis.
So those of other opinions may respond away at no difference to me or my opinion. After all they can chose to be wrong if they so wish
Either way I'm not a fan of diesels except for hauling loads and the 2013 Mazda 2.2 turbo diesel is known for the following issues, especially if not properly well maintained.
Blown head gaskets/cracked cylinder heads from sudden overheating with no warning.
Oil dilution / resulting in raised oil levels.
Oil pump inlet blockage from soot.
Camshaft wear from oil problems.
Timing chain wear from oil problems.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging.
EGR system clogging with carbon.
Actually, my mileage was less as I bought the Jeep new, but the MX5 had 9,000 on it when I bought it in 2014 and the CX5 had 20,000 on it when I bought it in 2015, so there was only about 100,000 miles that we put on all three. The CX5 is our local vehicle and hasn't gone further than 150 miles from home (our daughter lives in Fishers, Indiana). The MX5 is the toy and it makes a few trips, but not real long ones, the longest being a trip to Auburn, Indiana to visit the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum and then over to Port Clinton and home. The Jeep is for bad winter weather and long trips. It's longest was to Seattle, then down to southern Oregon, over to Idaho and then home. It usually gets about 5,000 miles on a trip and then sits for quite a bit of the year.

The only used low mileage vehicle I ever owned was a 1968 Honda CB350.
It had set in a garage in pieces for nearly 30 years before I got for free.
Once I restored it, I doubled the mileage in a month then sold it to a collector for a tidy sum.
