Common Issues to Check For on a Used Mazda
Mazda's lineup has a few well-documented issues worth checking before you buy, particularly on older models:
- Rust Class Action: Certain 2004–2011 Mazda3 and Mazda6 models were part of a well-documented class action over premature rust, particularly around the rear subframe and wheel arches — checking a used example for rust and confirming any related repairs matters
- Rotary Engine Apex Seals: RX-7 and RX-8 models with Mazda's rotary engine are known for apex seal wear, which can lead to compression loss and costly rebuilds — reviewing service history is essential before buying either model
- Automatic Transmission Complaints: Some early CX-9 and Mazda6 models have documented complaints about rough automatic transmission shifting — checking service history for the specific model year is worth the effort
- Takata Airbag Recalls: Several Mazda models were included in the industry-wide Takata airbag inflator recall — confirming completion via VIN is a quick, worthwhile check
