Description

My beloved MX5. Please read! Unfortunately I must reluctantly sell it because I really need a bigger car. I planned to keep until it no longer worked, but a 2 seater roaster wasn't built for a family. I've owned this little dream of a car for 5 years, and I had the previous version of the MX5 before I upgraded to this one. It's been my daily runner during that whole time. It's the only car I've owned since then. I got it at 33k miles in 2020 and have only done 19k miles during that time. That's an average of 3800 miles per year. MOT expires on 29/06/2025, but it will get a fresh MOT and service done if it isn't sold before then as I use it as my daily car, so milage will very slightly increase from 52,347k During that time it's had: - New battery (I have a receipt somewhere) - 4 new tyres (2021) - Break caliper (2022) - Front break disc x2 (2022) - Front break pads (2022) - Link stabiliser x2 (2022) - ABS sensor (2022) - Anti-roll bar ball joint nearside and offside completely fixed (43k miles) The GOOD Parts: - Very fluid and responsive when driving. The gear shift is a thing of beauty. - Effortless around bends with exceptional handling - Clean and comfortable inside - Parked in an underground carpark since 2022 - I put in a USBC cable to connect the speakers to an iPhone - Very good sound quality inside - Convertible roof comes up and down perfectly - I wash it and hoover it regularly - Very cheap on fuel - Very cheap insurance (I pay about 220 a year with 16 years no claims) - Very cheap tax (I pay 23 a month) - Very cheap/easy repairs and parts - No rust on rear sills, which MX5s are known for I want to be absolutely transparent, so here are The BAD parts: - Someone reversed into me and drove off, so it has a couple of small dents on the front bumper (pictured). No damage done besides cosmetic. - Rear left side has some white scrapes or the wheel arches - General small dents, barely noticeable - It'll get called a hairdressers car - You can't fit golf clubs in the boot - Noisy cabin, you'll hear all the wind and rain - No aircon, it gets hot during the summer if you don't have the top down - The wiper fluid doesn't seem to spray out on the right wiper, I'll get that checked during the MOT. Feel free to message with any questions or come have a look at it. It's a real gem of a car and I'm very sad I have to sell it, but hopefully it goes to someone who's loved it as much as I have during the 5 years I've owned it.
