The MAZDA CX-7 (2007-12) 5DR SUV 2.2 D DPF 173 SPORT TECH 6SPD is a roomy, five-door family SUV, offering a higher driving position and more presence than a conventional hatchback. In the UK used market it sits among larger, comfort-focused crossovers, appealing to buyers wanting practicality without moving to a full-size off-roader. mycarcheck.com has recorded 1,313 checks across 540 different VINs, a substantial sample that gives useful market context. The average recorded mileage is 99,000, with average annual use of 6,000 miles; cars have had about four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £2,500, though condition, history and individual mileage matter. Its diesel and six-speed manual suit longer journeys and family duties; Sport Tech trim adds comfort. Best for buyers needing space and motorway travel, it is less suited to city motoring. Compared with the Nissan Qashqai, the CX-7 feels larger and more substantial; check service history carefully.
