The MAZDA 5 (2010-15) 5DR MPV 1.6 D DPF 115 EU5 VENTURE 6SPD is a compact, family-focused people carrier, offering an alternative to a hatchback or larger SUV. Sliding rear doors ease access in tight spaces, while seating for up to seven suits school runs, shopping and family trips. In mycarcheck.com checks, this model generated 259 look-ups covering 140 VINs, providing a useful snapshot of checked examples. They averaged £3,900 in private-sale value and 94,000 miles, with about 8,000 miles driven yearly. Records showed an average of 2.5 previous keepers; these figures describe checked cars, not every car for sale. The 1.6-litre diesel suits regular family journeys and longer commutes, with a six-speed manual and sensible economy helping keep running costs in check. Venture trim adds comfort, and the Mazda 5 is often chosen for car-like road manners and clever access, standing out against rivals such as the Ford C-Max.
