MX5 1.6i 2005 (05 plate) Mot fail/project Sold

Silver MX5 1.6i 2005 (05 plate) Mot fail/project

The car is located in Hall Green, South Birmingham.

Offers around £750, including 2 spare Michelin tyres with 5mm tread (currently has winter tyres on rear).

This was my second MX5, bought in 2009 at 23,000 miles so its current 122,700 was mainly done by me and mostly motorway driving. It has never let me down, the only “breakdowns” have been the original 15year old battery in Jan 2020 and the alternator shortly after. It has been immobile since November 2021 but I charged the battery up and it started immediately and sounds great, as I knew it would.

It failed the MOT in Nov 2021 on ;

  • nearside rear brake pad worn
  • Service brake nearside front and rear excessively binding
  • Nearside corrosion - Which has now been repaired.

The nearside wheel arch is corroding and the other side is bubbling. It needs a new hood (see photos).

It has been repaired and serviced twice per year by the same trusted local mechanic. I have every MOT and receipt since I’ve owned it

I got a good deal on a 2016 model but am having difficulty parting with the old one it has been such a great and reliable car.
