Advice on Compression test please?
Hi all enthusiasts, I'm about to buy a 2008 Mazda Demio, I have just had a full mechanical check done by a Mazda mechanic and the compression and TK head check came up okay.
Verbally I was told it was pretty good. The report says ok. overall condition was good. Just want to check with you experts Cylinder 1 160 ps, 2 163, 3 163, 4 168
Would love see feedback thanks :-)

Your reported numbers are good nothing to worry about if they did the test correctly.
A cylinder compression TEST KIT are very inexpensive and very easy to use. If you can change spark plugs you can do a compression test! I usually do at least 2 complete test runs @ 5 cycle max counting on the compression stroke to match and verify the results of the first test.

If you do decide to do your own compression test there are a couple of us that can instruct the correct way to do it. But as I said your engine numbers look good!

Thanks really appreciate that :-).
I'm happy to buy the car now, the test was done by a good Mazda mechanic and not who I'm buying from and your opinion is valued as a second opinion. This kit sounds useful will look into it for future reference. cheers
