Mrs intheblitz and I own a '07 Furano 2.0D and the warranty runs out in March. Anything, other than the tyres!! (oh the tyres!! ) that we should look out for before the warranty runs out. Mrs ITB loves it, and we don't do many miles, 8-10k a year, it's not my cup of tea but if it keeps the wife quiet, it's well worth it!

Any recalls that the lovely Mazda UK have "forgot" to tell us about or any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Rear shock absorbers perhaps? Mine lasted only 17000 miles.

 

Check these out you should be able to contact Mazda with you vin to see if they apply

You could get a MOT done before the warranty expiry date, this should check most of the safety features?

 

Guess what!!! It's just had an MOT and failed on leaking rear shocks. What a piece of ****e!!! It had a full service at Mazda's on Monday, an MOT on Friday and one if the shocks is pi55ing out!!

After getting angry at the dealer they are replacing the shocks on Monday giving us a loan car, and a free MOT.

Mazda 5's; a lovely car badly built & put together. Such a shame.

 

Glad you have had a bit of good, but disappointing about the Mazda Dealers performance when servicing your car.
Had a similar problem with the Mazda Dealer in Taunton. They did every thing I asked for but I believe they did not perform within the spirit of the Mazda Z-Z+ used car scheme. I will not use them again as I do not trust them to do a good and thorough job.
