high mileage on a diesel 08, would you buy?

a lot really depends on what work has been done on the car have a look at the paperwork and check out how much of the running gear and suspension has been replaced and how much is left to go wrong

many dont seem to have a problem buying cars with big miles on the clock but it is not for me, that said 1.5K is no money for the car so it may be worth a punt if it is what you want

It could run for years yet if its been maintained meticulously, or it could be fit for scrap if its had minimum attention.

The 2.2 diesel mazda doesnt get a good name for reliability if thats the engine.

At that price though its would still be worth sticking an engine in at some point if needs be.

Is it the Mazda that dumps (fuel)? into the oil when regenerating the DPF?

Yes the 2.2 from memory. Bad engine.
