Buying a Used Mazda 6 Malaysia — Checklist
Used Mazda 6 checklist: ATF FZ service record (40,000 km). Carbon: rough cold idle (60,000+ km = suspect). OBD-II scan. Rear brake pads (GVC wears them faster). Front strut bearing (tapping over bumps). Parts: confirm key parts still available for the specific year. Service history with 0W-20 oil spec.
Mazda6 Used Car Checklist
- OBD scan: AT faults, i-Activsense, ABS, climate (all trims have multi-module)
- ATF FZ: changed at 60,000 km? Shifts smooth under acceleration?
- Carbon inspection if > 60,000 km
- Oil leak check: around cam cover, oil filter housing
- Strut top mount: drive over speedbump — any clunking?
