MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 160 LAUNCH EDITION
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MAZDA MX-5 (2005-09) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 160 LAUNCH EDITION is a compact, two-seat sports convertible, rather than a practical family hatchback or SUV. In the UK it sits among affordable open-top cars, offering a more approachable alternative to larger, costlier roadsters. Its folding roof makes sunny-day motoring easy, while still suiting everyday trips.
With 110 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 69 different VINs, the sample offers a useful snapshot. Checked cars averaged 74,000 miles and about 2,000 miles a year, with roughly three previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £2,400; this is an observed average, not a guaranteed asking price, so condition and history matter.
The 2.0-litre 160 Launch Edition is known for lively handling and an enjoyable drive, giving it sportier feel than many convertibles. It suits singles or couples wanting weekend fun and commuting flexibility, not rear seats or generous luggage space; check roof, service history and records.
