Mazda manual states replace the gasket when removing the throttle body (for cleaning).

Has anyone bothered or just reuse the old one. THanks

Unless it looks broken, I wouldn't worry about it, I remove them all the time, never change it.

I would replace it - it's cheap and your car is old. There is a reason why Mazda specifies the change.

I wouldn't bother changing it. It's just a rubber ring so unless its nicked, cracked, or dried out it will reseal. I've had my tb off a number of times never changed it with no issue.
