Description
1997 Mazda Mx-5 - 1.8 Manual NO MOT
Expired 13/03/2025
This car is a project that has many issues, will have to be transported away. I cannot fix this car as I lack the space to do anything. Below I have listed the pros and the cons of this car.
Pros:
1.8 manual, top spec and most sought after model of the first generation
Car starts and drives no problem
Clutch, tyres, radiator and serpentine belt were replaced less than a year ago, car has only driven 1000 miles in that time
Interior is in good condition
Car is completely unmodified, which is rare to come across
Cons:
Rust on rear arches and sills (view pictures)
Underbody rust including on the chassis rail
Various suspension bushings are worn out, along with the coils+struts and anti roll bar.
Car will fail emissions test, unsure what is the cause (there's smoke coming from between the heat shield and engine, so it could be a manifold seal.)
Paint on the rear end is faded (see picture)
No service history.
10 previous owners
As mentioned before the car can drive on its own, but as there's no MOT the car must be transported away.
Please contact me if interested.
