- Turbo failure: Turbo seal failures, oil burning.
- Carbon buildup on intake valves: GDI causes carbon deposits.
- Car is 14 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor

Additional notes
- The MZR DISI 2.3 Turbo (Mazdaspeed3/CX-7) is known for VVT actuator failures and carbon buildup on intake valves from GDI. Both issues are expensive. Check VVT rattle on cold start and turbo smoke.
- Diesel car from before 2018 with very low mileage suggests city-only use — DPF is likely clogged or has been removed (illegal). Check DPF status and EGR condition.
