A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.

That sucks. I had something similar happen when I bought a car with a “new” engine that blew up on me after just 5000 kms. Out of curiousity, what’s the defect?
The engine doesn’t supply the oil to some of it’s parts properly, so parts like the turbo compressor went bad.
Engines can be replaced. Is that an option?
Yes, but it would be as expensive as the car. It is also technically possible to replace a bunch of parts in order to fix it, but they are hard to get and expensive to get from the manufacturer.
