37 Mazda used cars in Brisbane

On Cars24, 37 Mazda used cars in Brisbane are currently priced between $15,990 and $34,990. These figures change as cars enter or leave stock, and they do not represent the average price across Brisbane.

Two cars of the same model can still have very different prices. Check the year, grade, engine, kilometres, service history and condition before purchase. Remember to leave money for insurance, rego, transfer costs and upcoming maintenance. Our guide covers the hidden costs of buying a used car.

If your ordinary day involves one or two people, light shopping and difficult parking, Mazda2 may be enough. Mazda3 gives you more cabin space without the size of an SUV.

CX-3 and CX-30 sit higher, but you should still test their rear seats and boots. Families carrying child seats, a pram and luggage may find CX-5 more practical. Only move up to CX-8 or CX-9 if you will use the third row. 

BT-50 is the one to consider for tools, towing or rough tracks. Still undecided? This guide explains which car body type may suit a small family.

CX-3 is shorter and gives you a higher seating position, which some drivers find easier for getting in and out. Mazda3 sits lower, with a choice of hatch or sedan body styles.

Try both with the things you carry regularly. A child seat may expose awkward rear access. A pram may fit through one boot opening more easily than the other. Visibility, seat comfort and equipment can also change by year and grade. Our hatchback versus compact SUV guide takes a closer look at these differences.

For short drives to work, school or the shops, petrol will usually be the easier choice. Diesel becomes more appealing when the car regularly covers longer distances, carries heavier loads or tows.

Here is the catch. A diesel particulate filter collects soot and needs suitable driving conditions to clear it. Mazda warns that repeatedly driving for 10 minutes or less can interrupt this process. Ask whether the CX-5 has shown DPF warnings, check its oil level and service records and arrange an inspection if its history is uncertain. Read our guide before deciding whether a diesel car suits your driving.

Start with the paperwork. A clean-looking Mazda can still have missed services, while an older car with clear invoices may have been looked after properly.

Many Mazdas require servicing every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. BT-50s built from 1 July 2016 and petrol Mazdas built from 1 December 2022 use intervals of 15,000 km or 12 months. Check the schedule for the exact vehicle rather than relying on a general rule. Compare logbook stamps with invoices and ask about unexplained gaps. Mazda does not hold a complete service history for every car, so the seller or previous workshop may be your best source. Learn why service history can matter more than low kilometres.

It can be. One hundred thousand kilometres is a number, not an expiry date. How the car reached that figure matters far more.

Look for regular servicing, a smooth cold start and clean gear changes. Warning lights, leaks, worn brakes, damaged tyres or noises from the suspension need further investigation. Also find out what major maintenance is coming next. A BT-50 deserves an underbody check for signs of hard off-road use, towing or heavy loads. Our high-kilometre used-car guide can help you judge whether the price makes sense.

Yes, provided some of the original warranty is still left. Mazda’s factory warranty stays with the vehicle when ownership changes, so buying elsewhere does not remove the remaining cover.

Mazdas purchased on or after 1 August 2018 received five years of unlimited-kilometre warranty coverage. The period starts from the earlier of the car’s first registration or retail sale date, not simply its model year. Ask for that date, the VIN and service documents. Maintenance still matters because a warranty may not cover problems caused by neglect. This used-car warranty guide explains the difference between factory and seller coverage.

It only shows that certain safety items met the required standard when inspected. These include the tyres, brakes, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen and visible rust or damage.

The certificate does not tell you how healthy the engine or transmission is, nor can it promise that the car will remain reliable. Since 1 July 2026, sellers no longer need one before advertising a registered vehicle. A current certificate is still generally required before the registration can be transferred. Consider a separate mechanical inspection as well. A Queensland PPSR check can show a registered security interest that may mean money is owing and may also show whether the car has been recorded as stolen or written off.
