6 Most Common Mazda CX-60 Problems

These are the faults most frequently seen on the Mazda CX-60 by UK garages — ranked by how commonly they occur and what they cost to fix.

1
PHEV Gearbox Judder and Hesitation (Early Examples)
High Priority
Early CX-60 PHEV owners widely reported judder, hesitation and harsh gear changes from the 8-speed automatic gearbox — particularly at low speeds. Mazda issued multiple software updates to address this. Later production cars and updated early examples are significantly improved, but it remains the most reported fault.
💷 Typical repair cost: £0–£500 (software) / £1,500+ (mechanical)
2
DPF Blockage (Skyactiv-D Diesel)
High Priority
The straight-six Skyactiv-D diesel CX-60 can develop DPF blockages on cars used predominantly on short urban journeys — though the large-displacement diesel is better suited to long runs than smaller units.
💷 Typical repair cost: £100–£1,500
3
PHEV Battery and Charging Issues
Watch
Some CX-60 PHEV owners have reported AC charging faults and high-voltage battery warnings. Most cases are software-related and covered under warranty.
💷 Typical repair cost: £0–£2,000
4
AdBlue System (Skyactiv-D)
Watch
The Skyactiv-D CX-60 requires AdBlue for the SCR emissions system. Running low or sensor faults cause warnings and prevent restart after a threshold.
💷 Typical repair cost: £10–£600
5
Infotainment Software Glitches
Low Priority
Some CX-60 owners report infotainment freezes and connectivity issues — addressed by software updates.
💷 Typical repair cost: £0–£200
6
Rear Brake Squeal
Low Priority
Rear brake squeal is occasionally reported on CX-60 models.
💷 Typical repair cost: £0–£300
