MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR ROADSTER COUPE 2.0 160 NISEKO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR ROADSTER COUPE 2.0 160 NISEKO is a compact two-seat sports car, not a family hatchback or SUV. Its folding hardtop adds year-round practicality while preserving the open-air appeal that has made the MX-5 one of the UK’s best-known affordable sports cars.
mycarcheck.com records 262 look-ups covering 91 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Checked examples averaged 76,000 miles, around 3,000 miles annually, and just over three previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £2,900. These figures describe vehicles checked, not a guaranteed price or condition.
The 2.0-litre 160 NISEKO suits drivers who value weekend journeys and commutes over rear seats or luggage space. Compared with rivals such as the Toyota MR2, the MX-5 is famed for approachable handling and the choice of open-top motoring or a quieter hardtop. It is a distinctive used-car choice for enthusiasts, rather than an economical all-rounder.
