The MAZDA 5 (2008-10) 5DR MPV 2.0 146 SPORT SNAV is a compact, seven-seat family people-carrier, not an SUV or ordinary hatchback. In the UK used market it competes with MPVs such as the Vauxhall Zafira, Ford C-Max and Toyota Verso, offering a practical alternative for families needing extra passenger space. Sliding rear doors make access easier in tight parking spaces, and the flexible cabin suits school runs, holidays and car-pooling. The 2.0-litre petrol engine gives this Sport Nav version a straightforward, well-equipped feel, including navigation. It is best for growing families wanting more versatility than a hatchback without moving to a larger van-like people-carrier. mycarcheck.com records 25 look-ups across 13 VINs: a modest sample, with average private-sale value of £1,200, mileage of 118,000 miles, annual use of 4,000 miles and 2.8 previous keepers.
