2023 Mazda MX-5 Exclusive-Line

The fourth-generation MX-5 in Exclusive-Line guise is one of the more rounded ways to specify Mazda's roadster, adding keyless entry, wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, three-stage heated seats, and dusk-sensing headlights to the familiar lightweight formula. This 2023 73-plate car presents in Bronze — an earthy, warm tone that suits the ND's compact proportions — and shows 11,256 miles on the clock, making it barely run-in by any measure.

Power comes from Mazda's 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G naturally aspirated four-cylinder, producing 130 bhp and 152 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed manual gearbox. For many MX-5 enthusiasts the 1.5 is the preferred engine: it's lighter at the nose, more free-revving, and better aligned with the car's long-standing ethos of balance over outright power. The 127 mph top speed is academic — the appeal is in how it gets there.

Running costs are straightforward: around 45 mpg and 142 g/km CO2 keep ownership sensible, and at this mileage the service record will be minimal. No previous ownership detail is stated on the listing.
