The Mazda 6 first generation (GG/GY platform) ran from 2002 to 2008, so a 2005 and a 2008 car share the same generation and the bonnet latch should be compatible in principle. However, there was a facelift around 2005-2006 which brought changes to the front end, so confirm with the breaker that the donor car's registration falls on the same side of that facelift boundary as yours before buying.
The second-generation Mazda 6 (GH platform) ran from 2008 to 2012, and the third generation (GJ platform) ran from 2013 onwards, so these are entirely different platforms with different front-end structures. A bonnet latch from a GH will not fit a GJ — always source a latch from the same generation as your car.
The third-generation Mazda 6 (GJ, from 2013) received a facelift in 2018 which brought updates to the front end including the grille and bonnet line. Whether the bonnet latch itself interchanges across that 2018 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as small mounting or geometry changes can affect compatibility.
Bonnet latch fitment on the Mazda 6 is not affected by trim level — SE, Sport, and GT Sport all share the same bonnet and latch within a given generation and facelift period. What can vary between trims is equipment under the bonnet such as sensors or bonnet stay mechanisms, so just check with the breaker if your car has any active bonnet pedestrian-safety system fitted.
No — whether your Mazda 6 has a petrol or diesel engine, the bonnet latch is the same part within a generation and facelift period, as it is determined by the body platform rather than the drivetrain. Focus your search on matching the generation and whether the donor car is pre- or post-facelift rather than worrying about engine codes.
The three main generations to identify are: first-gen GG (2002–2008), second-gen GH (2008–2012), and third-gen GJ (2013 onwards). You can confirm your generation by checking the V5C build date or asking a breaker to look up your registration, and once you have the right generation, also clarify whether your car is pre- or post-facelift so the breaker can match the correct latch.
