- Generation
- Tap a generation (↓) to jump to its full breakdown below; the colour maps back to the timeline strip + legend above.
- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
Mazda's compact MPV with sliding rear doors — pre-Skyactiv era with the older Mazda L3 / L5 / Z6 engines. SG-market mostly sees the 2.0L NA + 5-speed automatic. Boring durable Mazda mid-size MPV when serviced; not many widespread failure patterns. Cars are now 7-15 years old; sliding-door motor wear is the universal MPV concern (cycle both at viewing). 2.0L L3 engine timing chain stretch on pre-2013 builds. The Mazda 5 was discontinued in 2018 in most markets — replacement parts may be moderately harder to source for the newest builds.

What's good
- Pre-Skyactiv 2.0L L3 with full service history — boring durable Mazda mid-size MPV when serviced. The 2.0L NA + 5-speed automatic is mechanically straightforward; a clean service trail at 7-15 years old is the durability signal.
- Both sliding doors cycling smoothly + silent at viewing — universal MPV 5-minute filter (same as Honda Odyssey / Toyota Alphard). Door motor / cable assembly is the most-failure-prone item; smooth operation = the most expensive recurring item is not currently due.
What to watch
- Pre-2013 L3 with cold-start chain rattle — Mazda L3 timing chain stretch pattern on early builds. Catastrophic when the chain skips; S$3-5k locally for chain + tensioner work. Walk unless paperwork is in hand.
- Sliding-door slow / noisy / failing to latch — universal Mazda 5 MPV wear pattern at 8+ years. Per-side repair S$1-1.5k at Mazda labour locally.

2 trimsCommon questions about the Mazda 5
- How much does a used Mazda 5 cost in Singapore?
- Most used Mazda 5 on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$24k–S$30k (typically about S$26k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- Is the Mazda 5 reliable?
- In our read, the Mazda 5 scores 80 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Mazda 5 with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Mazda 5 figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Mazda 5 listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
