Market analysis
How much does a used Mazda Miata strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Mazda Miata strut are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $90, while 2017 tops the table at $125. Parts from 2009–2015 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mazda Miata sits 64% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 32% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 4% above the Ford Explorer ($120) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used strut: what to check
- Buy struts in pairs. Mixing wear levels ruins handling and tire wear.
- Check for oil streaks on the strut body, the sign of a blown seal.
- Confirm sport vs base suspension. Spring rates and heights differ.
- Factor in new mounts and bearings; reusing old ones wastes the labor.
