DBF-SLP2T
Listed 2017–2021. The DBF prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means petrol goods vehicle or bus certified to Japan’s 2005 emissions rules, 75% below their limits. Check DBF-SLP2T against ULEZ and clean air zones.
| Engine | Gearbox | Drive | Weight | Seats | Fuel economy | Listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L81,798 cc petrol | 5-speed automatic | rear-wheel drive | 1,340–1,360 kg | — | 10.4 km/L29 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2017–2021 |
| L81,798 cc petrol | 5-speed manual | rear-wheel drive | 1,310–1,330 kg | — | 11.2–11.4 km/L32 mpg, Japanese JC08 test | 2017–2021 |
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.

From the JAMA chassis number lists: 車台番号一覧表. We keep only the chassis code, serial ranges and year. JAMA calls them reference information, not a certificate.
Check an SLP2T before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start SLP2T-, 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.

What fuel economy does the SLP2T get?

How heavy is the SLP2T?
Between 1,310 and 1,360 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is DBF-SLP2T the same as SLP2T?

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.
