NA ORIGINAL / 01
Original is in the details.
A genuine Mazda replacement part is OEM — but it is not necessarily the part fitted when the car left the factory. Our proposed standard keeps those stories separate.

Factory-fitted original
Documented components fitted when the vehicle was built.
Genuine Mazda replacement
Correct genuine parts replaced during the car’s life, recorded separately.
Modified or undocumented
Aftermarket changes or missing evidence. No assumption of originality.
Price needs context.
An asking price is not a sale price. Originality, condition, market and documented history must be separated before comparisons mean anything. No certified-original price index is published yet.
