Used sumps vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The MX-5 NB (Mk2) ran from 1998 to 2005, while the NC (Mk3) ran from 2005 to 2015, so a 2003 and a 2007 car sit in different generations with different engines — fitment across that NB-to-NC boundary is unlikely. The most reliable way to match a sump is by engine code, which you can find on your V5 or via a VIN check. Always confirm with the breaker quoting against your exact registration before buying.
Yes — the NB (1998–2005) and NC (2005–2015) use different engine families, so the sumps are not the same part. Give the breaker your engine code rather than just the year, as that tells them exactly which unit they need to match. Never assume a sump from one generation will drop straight onto another.
Both years sit within the NC (Mk3) generation (2005–2015), so they are broadly the same engine family, which is a good start. However, confirm your engine codes match — particularly because minor ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production and the safest check is to give the breaker your registration so they can verify against your specific car. Engine code agreement is the key detail here, not just the year.
No — trim level does not affect sump fitment on the MX-5. Sport, Icon, SE, and other trim grades share the same engine internals within a generation and engine code, so the sump is identical regardless of what badge is on the car. What can differ between trims is cosmetic or interior specification, none of which affects a mechanical part like the sump.
The MX-5 has only ever been offered with petrol engines in the UK market, so fuel type is not a variable you need to worry about for this model. Focus instead on the engine code and generation — these are what determine which sump you need. Confirm the engine code with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
No — the ND (Mk4, 2015 onwards) uses a different engine to the NC (Mk3, 2005–2015), so the sumps are not interchangeable across that generation boundary. Always match the sump to the engine code rather than assuming year proximity is close enough. Confirm everything with the breaker using your registration before purchasing a used part.
