How long do Mazda cars last?
Mazda models average about 210,000 miles in Carpool's catalog. The B Pickup leads at an estimated 250,000 miles, and the RX-8 is lowest at 120,000.
These are Carpool's editorial estimates of the miles a well-maintained car typically reaches before major repairs make it uneconomical to keep, informed by long-term reliability and high-mileage studies. They aren't measured data or a guarantee, and individual model years can differ. How Carpool uses them.

What the difference is worth
Take two used Mazdas, each priced at $8,000 with 100,000 miles on the odometer. By these estimates, the B Pickup has 150,000 miles left, or $0.053 per mile. The RX-8 has 20,000 left, or $0.400 per mile. Same price, same mileage, very different value.
