Should I buy this 2016 Mazda 3?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hello,

I am in the process of buying a used 2016 Mazda 3 2.2L Diesel.

While on the test drive a warning came up saying "Vehicle System Malfunction".

I showed the dealer, he turned the car off and back on but the message was still there.

The dealer took it to a garage today and I've attached the faults they found when they plugged in the diagnostic tool.

Engine
P258B00
Vacuum Pump Control Range/Performance.

Antilock Brakes
U040100
Invalid Data Received From ECM/PCM "A".

Smart Start Unit
B13D31616
Remote Transmitter Registration (Failure Type 16)

Tire Pressure Monitor
U040100
Invalid Data Received From ECM/PCM "A".

Smart City Brake Support
U3000 Laser Sensor or Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System (Failure
Type 66)
U0401 Error Signal Received From PCM (Failure Type 68)
U0415 Error Signal Received From DSC HU/CM (Failure Type 68)

The garage has reset these faults and basically said they only look into them if they come back twice?

What do you think I should do?

Welcome to the forum

if you are asking then NO. This is simply based on the fact that you don't indicate you personally being able to diagnosis and service those DTC. I would "GUESS" one hour labor rate from a certified Diagnostic Automotive technician just to re-look at them and estimate the service to correct them. Then each remaining DTCs if they are not linked to a singular issue labor and part replacement cost additional.

Thank you.

Yeah I've backed out of the purchase.
