GarageScout Take

The original mid-engine, rear-drive layout remains paired with a five-speed and no reported modifications, while the November 2023 work covered the timing belt, water pump, suspension, bushings, seals, and fluids. At 150,100 miles, it sits near the high end for the generation. The Carfax gaps sit alongside roof clear-coat failure, corrosion in the engine bay and underbody, tires due for replacement, a reported oil-pan-gasket seep, and a cracked dashboard.

Strengths

  • First-generation MR2 with its original mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and five-speed manual transmission.
  • Documented November 2023 service included the timing belt, water pump, struts, control arm bushings, fluids, and multiple seals.

Watch For

  • The Carfax history report has gaps, so the full ownership and service record is not continuous.
  • Exterior flaws include clear-coat failure on the roof, weathered trim, chips, dings, scratches, and a worn finish on the passenger-side rear wheel.
  • The tires need replacement, and the seller was told oil is seeping through the oil pan gasket.
  • Corrosion is present on engine-bay hardware, underbody components, and the front bumper; the dashboard is cracked, interior trim is worn
