Mazda unveils extended six-year auto warranty for new vehicle purchases
In a move to boost customer confidence and stand out in a competitive market, Mazda UK has announced an upgrade to its warranty for all new models sold in the UK. Starting from September 1, 2025, every new Mazda will come with an extended six-year warranty covering up to 100,000 miles, whichever comes first[1][2][3][5]. This is an upgrade from the previous three-year/60,000-mile warranty.
To maintain the warranty, Mazda owners must have their cars serviced annually or every 12,500 miles (10,000 miles for the Mazda 2 Hybrid) as per manufacturer guidelines[1]. This service schedule aligns with the industry average, with most Mazda models requiring servicing every 12 months, or 12,500 miles.
The upcoming electric Mazda 6e will have an eight-year battery warranty alongside the six-year standard vehicle warranty[1][3]. This battery warranty is in addition to the standard vehicle cover and highlights Mazda's focus on customer service, including retail, fleet, and used cars.
Mazda UK's managing director, Jeremy Thomson, stated that the extended warranty is a reflection of the company's commitment to the quality, reliability, and engineering of its cars[1]. This move is seen as a great differentiator in a crowded and competitive market, where Kia and Hyundai have offered lengthier warranties for many years.
For Mazda dealers, the new warranty represents a great opportunity to maintain customers in their network for longer in sales and service for years to come. This is because compliance with Mazda's recommended servicing routine is required to maintain the warranty coverage[1].
It's worth noting that the new warranty does not appear to be extended to the forthcoming Mazda 6e all-electric hatchback's battery warranty, which remains at eight years[1][3]. Additionally, there was no new information provided about the electric conversion kit for the classic Mazda MX-5.
European roadside assistance is provided by Mazda in more than 30 countries across Europe, lasting for three years or 60,000 miles[1]. This service, along with the extended warranty, is expected to provide greater peace of mind for buyers and fleet users.
