MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR ROADSTER COUPE 2.0 160 SPORT
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR ROADSTER COUPE 2.0 160 SPORT is a compact two-seat sports car, not a family hatchback: its folding hardtop lets it switch from a snug coupe to an open-top roadster. It sits in a UK niche for affordable, enjoyment-led motoring, offering more character than an everyday small car.
Across 1,207 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 627 different VINs, this model has attracted strong interest. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,300, recorded mileage of 76,000 miles and annual use of around 3,000 miles. Cars checked had averaged about three to four previous keepers, useful context when assessing an individual example.
The 2.0-litre Sport suits couples, enthusiasts and commuters wanting a weekend car, though limited luggage space makes it less practical for families. Its responsive handling, enjoyable feel and hardtop roof distinguish it from rivals such as the Toyota MR2, making this used Mazda MX-5 an engaging choice.
