Second Hand Mazda 6 Engine Mount

The Mazda 6 second generation (GH) ran from 2008 to 2013, so a 2010 and a 2013 are within the same generation, which is a good starting point for compatibility. That said, fitment of engine mounts follows the engine code first and foremost, so you need to confirm both cars share the same engine code before assuming the mount will interchange. Supply your registration and engine code to the breaker so they can cross-reference the part against their stock.

The GH and GJ are entirely different generations with different engines and different subframe layouts, so engine mounts from the GH generation will not cross over to the GJ as a rule. Even where engine displacements appear similar across the two generations, the engine codes differ and the mounting positions changed, making cross-generation fitment very unlikely. Always confirm against your exact engine code and registration with the breaker.

Trim level does not affect engine mount fitment on the Mazda 6 — SE, Sport, and GT Sport are equipment and cosmetic grades, not mechanical variants, so the mount is determined by the engine code and gearbox type, not the badge on the car. What does matter is whether your car has a petrol or diesel engine and whether it has a manual or automatic gearbox, as these combinations can use different mounts. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) and they will identify the correct mount for your car.

Engine code is the primary factor, but gearbox type can also affect which engine mounts are required, as automatic and manual versions sometimes use different mounting arrangements to manage torque differently. So a 2.2 diesel mount from a manual may not be a straight swap into an automatic, even if the engine code matches. Confirm both your engine code and gearbox type with the breaker before purchasing to avoid buying the wrong mount.

The GH Mazda 6 received a facelift in 2010, with both pre-facelift and post-facelift cars sitting within the 2008–2013 generation. Whether mounting changes were made around the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and engine code, as ancillary and mounting detail changes mid-production are not always well-documented publicly. Providing your full engine code gives the breaker the best chance of confirming whether the part is a match.

All Mazda 6 variants across every generation are front-wheel-drive petrol or diesel cars, and all of them use conventional engine mounts to secure the engine and gearbox to the subframe, so engine mounts are a standard fitment on every version of the car. There are no variants of the Mazda 6 — such as a rear-wheel-drive or mid-engined layout — where engine mounts would be absent. The key variables are simply the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, which determine which specific mount you need.
