2013 Mazda 5: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 63% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link joints 7×, exhaust system 3.7×, ball joint 2.7× 1,091 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 59% pass first time (all 2013 cars: 67%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link joints 8.6×, ball joint 3.7×, suspension arm bushes and joints 2.3× 1,173 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
