Mazda MPV for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Compact and maneuverable, confident road manners, roll-down windows in the sliding doors.

Cons

Lacks the passenger/cargo space and power found in competitors.

What’s new

The MPV gets a facelift for 2004 that includes a new hood, headlamps, front fenders, grille, side skirts and alloy wheels. A rear air conditioner and four-wheel disc brakes are now standard.

Edmunds says

A quiet and capable van if that's all you need, but compared to the new and improved class leaders, the MPV lacks the size and features to compete for the top spot.

Bought new in 2004, now has 250,000 miles

kaiserdr, 07/01/2015

2004 Mazda MPV LX 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

2022 update, less monthly activities/mileage, but this vehicle is still plugging along at more than 250 k. I rarely give anything five stars but the service I have had on this vehicle deserves it. I bought my MPV brand new from the dealer and only had routine problems. My vehicle is approaching 245,000 miles and runs perfectly. We have maintained the exterior and interior of this …

Great, but need some help

Sm00ve, 10/15/2009

2004 Mazda MPV ES 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

My van is my baby (I loves my dog [Wuff]). The biggest problem I have is that I can't find a maintenance manual for the body. She's at 100K miles, but I can't change the rear brakes because I can't adjust them out far enough to accommodate new shoes (they're pretty tricky for rear disc brakes). Other than that, she's great. I even figured out how to change the spark plugs without …

Multiple problems with coils in engine

Lorf, 11/16/2010

2004 Mazda MPV ES 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Bought the vehicle used in 2008 with about 40,000 miles. Loved it at first, rode smoothly, feels like a car, looks great for a minivan and love that the sliding door windows roll down. Fast forward to about 75,000 miles. The first engine coil goes. 90,000 two more blow. Now at 101,000 miles, the 4th coil is being replaced tomorrow. There is a design defect in the coil placement in …

91K and need new engine

L Reynolds, 07/24/2010

2004 Mazda MPV ES 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

The 2004 Mazda MPV was reliable until about 65K when I started having trouble with numerous ignition coils. The last straw was last week - replaced all three rear coils - #3 kept misfiring and dealership recommended to replace them all. Then ck eng. light came on again and they cleaned fuel injectors. Light came on again, they turned it off because it said #3 coil again and it was just …
