Hello everyone,
Maybe someone here has experienced something similar. I have a Mazda CX-5 2014 diesel 2.2, which I bought about 10 months ago on finance.
My first issue appeared with an error saying “Vehicle System Inspection Required.” I took it to the garage, and they said it was an air-con sensor issue—nothing major.
A little later, I started getting TPMS Inspection Required and SCBS Inspection Required warnings. I went back to the garage, and they couldn’t find much wrong, except that my car only had 1 litre of oil left. They changed the oil filter and topped it up.
When I bought the car in January, the dealer told me it had been serviced and MOT’d before I collected it, both showing all clear. But since my oil was basically empty by June, the garage said it was unlikely the service was actually done.
I didn’t have any issues after that until September, when I got a “Low Oil Pressure” warning followed by “Engine Inspection Required.” The garage said it could potentially be the oil pump, but they decided to clean the system, change the filter and oil, and see how it goes.
They also mentioned that someone had already worked on the area where the oil pump is, since it didn’t have the original seal — meaning someone had been in there before.
Yesterday, while driving, I noticed reduced power, especially on acceleration. Then, the same warnings came back again. I went to the garage, and when they scanned it, it showed the same faults as before, plus about 7 more errors, including things like the start-stop system and others that don’t make much sense.
Now I’m really worried — it looks like I might need to spend £1,000 or more to fix this.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their CX-5 or any advice on what this could be?
