The MAZDA MX-5 RF (2016-19) 2DR TARGA 1.5 SKYACTIV-G 132 EU6 SE-L NAV+ 6SPD is a compact, two-seat sports car with a folding hardtop, rather than a practical hatchback or family car. In the UK, it sits in a niche: an affordable, enjoyable roadster for drivers who value style and open-air motoring. mycarcheck.com has recorded 110 look-ups across 49 distinct VINs, giving a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £15,100, average recorded mileage of 28,000 miles and around 4,000 miles driven yearly. The average of just over one previous keeper suggests many examples have had limited ownership changes. It suits weekend drives, scenic trips and commuting for someone travelling light, rather than families needing rear seats or a large boot. Against rivals, the folding roof adds coupe-like comfort while lively handling and open-air fun keep the MX-5 a distinctive UK favourite in its class.
