They’re quite well known for having potential issues - turbos, engine coking, loss of oil pressure due to a blocked filter.

Our family car is a 2016 CX-5 with the diesel engine, in 3 years and 25k miles it’s given us zero issues though - now on about 63k miles.

I have had a couple of earlier Mazda 6s that between them had engine coking , turbo failure and head gasket issues. They did have higher miles then the CX-5 though.
