Fitment on a used rear view mirror varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The MX-5 has run through distinct generations — NA (1989–1997), NB (1998–2005), NC (2005–2015), and ND (2015–present) — and the interior dimensions, windscreen angle, and mirror mounting points differ between them, so mirrors are generally not interchangeable across generations. A mirror from within the same generation is your best starting point, but confirm the exact fitment with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Both a 2008 and a 2013 MX-5 fall within the NC generation (2005–2015), so the mirror mounting and interior architecture are shared, making a cross-year fit within that generation plausible. However, if your car has an auto-dimming or rain-sensing mirror as part of a higher trim specification, check with the breaker that the donor car's mirror matches that feature, as wiring connections may differ.
The NC generation ran from 2005 to 2015 and the ND from 2015 onwards, and these are substantially different cars with different interior designs and mirror mounting systems, so a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely. Confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming compatibility.
For most MX-5 variants the basic interior mirror is the same unit across trim levels within a generation, but higher UK trims — such as Sport or Sport Tech on the ND — may feature an auto-dimming rear view mirror that differs from the standard unit on entry-level trims like SE or SE-L. Check with the breaker whether the donor car had auto-dimming or not, as fitting a non-auto-dimming mirror in place of one is straightforward, but the reverse may require wiring.
Yes — the MX-5 is a two-seat roadster and has had a conventional interior rear view mirror across all generations (NA, NB, NC, and ND), regardless of engine size or transmission, so this is a genuine part to source from a breaker. The open-top nature of the car means rear visibility can vary with the roof up or down, but the mirror itself is a standard fitment.
The MX-5 has only ever been produced as a two-seat, single-body-style roadster (with a choice of soft-top or retractable hardtop roof on some generations), so door count is not a variable you need to worry about when matching this part. Focus instead on matching the generation and trim level, particularly whether your car has a standard or auto-dimming mirror, and confirm with the breaker against your registration.
