The MAZDA MX-5 (2009-13) 2DR COUPE 2.0 160 POWERSHIFT AUTO6 is a compact, two-seat sports car with a folding hardtop, giving it open-air appeal and coupe-like shelter when closed. In the UK it sits in a specialist niche rather than the family-car market, prioritising enjoyable driving over space and practicality. The 2.0-litre engine and six-speed automatic suit drivers wanting progress and weekend fun. It is best for couples, drivers or a second-car owner, not families needing rear seats or a generous boot. Against roadsters such as the BMW Z4, the MX-5 is more focused on engaging handling and driver involvement. Across 197 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 125 cars, average recorded mileage was 46,000 miles and annual mileage 2,000. The average private-sale value was £7,100, while cars had about two previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, not a guarantee: condition, service history and specification still matter when assessing a used MX-5 purchase.
