The MAZDA 6 (2002-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 D 143 SPORT is a roomy family hatchback, combining practical five-door access with a more engaging, sporty feel than many everyday cars. In the UK, it sits among sensible mid-size alternatives to the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra, offering useful space without stepping up to an SUV. The 2.0-litre diesel is suited to commuters and families who want a comfortable car for regular journeys, with a flexible cabin for passengers and luggage. Sport trim gives this Mazda 6 a purposeful look and a livelier character, while its diesel engine can make longer-distance driving more economical than petrol rivals. It is a practical all-rounder rather than a small city runabout. mycarcheck.com has recorded 56 checks across 48 different cars, giving a useful snapshot: average mileage is 127,000, annual use about 7,000 miles, and around five previous keepers.
