Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 model year cars.
- Rear Sill and Arch CorrosionSerious
Road salt and trapped moisture cause the metal to rot from the inside out.
- Ignition Coil and Spark Plug MisfireModerate
The NC MX-5 is prone to misfires caused by deterioration of the thin wiring to the ignition coils, which leads to coil failure. Symptoms include rough idle, hesitation under acceleration and the engine management light. The fix is typically new coils and plugs.
- Soft-Top Window Hazing and Water IngressModerate
The plastic rear window on the soft-top can haze or craze with age, reducing rear visibility. More seriously, the roof seals and rain rails can fail, letting water into the cabin and accelerating sill corrosion from the inside.
