I am considering buying a 2007 Mazda 6 Sports Luxury manual that a friend is selling, but the only problem is that it has 145,000 km on it. I know it has full service history and is in great condition, but is this something I should stay away from. Are they known to incur problems around this stage, or are they a good machine that is just warming up. I don't want to buy a car and then realize that there is a major service just around the corner. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
It's not possible to predict what might or might not happen to any car in the future, all you can do is make sure as best as possible that it is in good condition and has been properly maintained. The Mazda 6 is a sound choice, and the one you have your eye on seems to tick all the boxes. I wouldn't be concerned about the mileage; with the reliability of the current crop of Mazdas you could confidently look forward to many years of trouble free motoring.
