Falty turbo after 8 days dealer refusing rejection
If you just look at averages the US is 13,000 miles and the UK is 7400 miles or just under 12,000 kilometers.
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.

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.
