Fuel economy is from Japan’s official tests and is usually better than you’ll see on UK roads. MLIT doesn’t list power or torque.
ADF-SKF2L
Listed 2009–2010. The ADF prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means diesel goods vehicle or bus certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules. Check ADF-SKF2L against ULEZ and clean air zones.

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.
Check an SKF2L before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start SKF2L-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

MLIT lists the Mazda Bongo SKF2L with RF 1,998 cc diesel.
What fuel economy does the SKF2L get?

How heavy is the SKF2L?
Between 1,500 and 1,540 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is ADF-SKF2L the same as SKF2L?

About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Mazda model codes.
