AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For sale is a 2004 Mazda MX-5 NBFL. The car is equipped with a 1.6-liter petrol engine producing 110 HP, a manual gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. Current mileage is 89,500 km.

The car has been with the current owner for 6 years. During this time it was used occasionally, kept in a garage, and not driven in winter. It has been regularly serviced, and standard service tasks, including oil and filter changes, have been performed on a routine basis.

In recent years, the car has undergone a wide range of bodywork, mechanical, and maintenance work. All major jobs were completed at a renowned workshop that specializes exclusively in Mazda MX-5s. The total cost of the work was about 8000 EUR.

Body and paint

The car has undergone significant work on the body and anti-corrosion protection. In 2021 the underbody received anti-corrosion protection. In the 2024/2025 season the front members (rockers) were replaced, which is one of the most important inspection points on the NB/NBFL MX-5.

In 2023 the roof skin was replaced with a new one. At the same time the color of the car was changed by wrapping the body with foil. The original paint is under the foil. The condition of the foil and the paint coating should be assessed from photos and inspections.

Currently, no active corrosion sites or areas requiring urgent bodywork are indicated.

Windows, lights, seals, and exterior components are complete. The car has 17-inch aluminum wheels.

Mechanical condition

The car has recently undergone a major scope of mechanical and service work. According to the seller, the car currently does not require financial input and is ready for further use.

In the 2024/2025 season, among others:

* replacement of rocker panels,
* replacement of the radiator,

There are currently no urgent mechanical repairs required. The car has been used occasionally, garaged, and not driven in winter.

* power antenna.

The seats, leather trim, dashboard, door panels, carpets, headliner/roof lining, and trunk should be assessed from photos and in-person inspection.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
