Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2017 model year cars.
- Manual Gearbox Failure on Early CarsSerious
Early ND1 2.0-litre manuals had weak internals that could develop whine, baulking shifts or outright gear failure, especially if driven hard.
- Clutch Pedal Bracket / Linkage CreakingModerate
Some early ND cars develop creaks or inconsistent clutch take-up from wear around the clutch pedal bracket and linkage area.
- Rear Suspension Hub Carrier Spherical Bushing Play and ClunkingModerate
The multi-link rear suspension on the ND MX-5 uses spherical bearing pillow-ball bushings within the aluminium rear hub carriers (knuckles) to control wheel geometry. Over UK roads, moisture, road salt and grit penetrate the rubber dust seals, causing the internal spherical joints to corrode and develop excessive play. This produces a noticeable rear-end knocking noise over bumps, vague high-speed stability, and an automatic UK MOT failure for excessive play in a suspension pin, bush or joint. Mazda does not supply replacement bushes separately, quoting £900–£1,600 to replace complete hub assemblies; however, independent specialists fit aftermarket polyurethane or spherical replacement bush kits (such as Polybush or Powerflex) on the car.
