Description
For Sale: Mazda MX‑5 Arctic (E10 DRB)
A brilliant example of the iconic MX‑5 — lightweight, rear‑wheel drive, and a joy to drive. This MX-5 has been well looked after as can be seen in the extensive history file and drives beautifully.
Model: Mazda MX‑5 Arctic (NB)
Year: 2005
Engine: 1. 8l petrol, 5‑speed manual
Mileage: 50150
MOT expiry date: 29/ 04/ 2027
Condition: Very good for age — solid sills, clean underneath, great paintwork, alloys in great condition. The blue leather seats are in overall good condition, the drivers seat bolster has some creasing but no cracking, the rest of the interior is also in generally good condition.
Spec highlights: Soft-top roof in great condition, watertight, original Arctic special edition alloys, being the Arctic model it also has both air con and heated seats.
Recent work: Service/ timing belt/ water pump all done within the last 800 miles. New ECU fitted 1000 miles ago (common problem with these cars). New NSF caliper fitted at recent MOT 30/ 04/ 2026 with the OSF caliper being done by the previous owner back in 2022.
The drive: Light, precise, and engaging — exactly what an MX‑5 should be. Starts first time, pulls cleanly through the revs, and feels tight on the road.
Price: £5350 ono
Location: East Leeds
Genuine sale — only moving it on due to lack of use, as can be seen in the MOTs I’ve only driven it about 800 miles in the last year, it needs to be enjoyed by someone who’ll be able to drive it more often.
Private plate is included in the sale.
