Hello, I've noticed recently since driving my car that it's been generating a rattle when I disengage the clutch.

Secondly, I've noticed that sometimes the rear suspension creaks / chunks typically when the car brakes, etc.

I've recorded a video (was a bit more difficult to capture the second issue though). Is this just how these cars are? I've never experienced this sort of thing before. The car should be covered by the 12 month used car warranty.

Many thanks

Well that doesn't sound normal. I've never had a 3 diesel but I've had lots of diesels of other makes and loads of petrol Mazdas. None have made a noise like that.

The Mazda used car warranty is very comprehensive. I'd get the dealer to take a look

Thank you for the reply. I've been back and forth with garages trying to get this rectified and as far as I can tell, the mazda used warranty won't cover this since anything clutch / suspension related is "wear and tear". The Mazda warranty only seems to cover "manufacturer defects"

To me that kinda makes the warranty almost seem like a bit of a marketing gimmick to me because most issues one would get from a used car probably will be wear and tear related items.
