Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MAZDA MX-5 (1995-05) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.8 S REV 98 is a compact, two-seat sports convertible rather than a practical family hatchback. Its distinctive folding roof and dimensions make it an appealing weekend car, while the 1.8-litre engine gives this later first-generation version lively, approachable performance. In the UK, the MX-5 is a familiar, popular, affordable roadster.
mycarcheck.com has recorded 343 checks covering 165 distinct VINs, a sizeable sample. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,100 and average recorded mileage of 92,000 miles.

With an average of five previous keepers in the data, buyers should review maintenance records and inspect the roof and body.
