2003 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · A620 JSA

The 2003 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 134,503 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally low use for a 23-year-old vehicle. In the 17 May 2022 test the odometer read 132,241 miles; by 3 May 2023 it had risen only to 133,379, then 133,779 at the 24 July 2024 test, and 134,503 by July 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 miles per year across the last three years. The sparse four-entry record shows no failures, advisories, or flagged corrosion, suspension, or brake defects, which suggests either careful storage or light recreational use rather than neglected standing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts, as the MX-5 of this era is prone to structural rust that a pass with no defects does not rule out if the tester did not record advisories. The near-static mileage means rubber components such as suspension bushes, track-rod ends, and brake hoses may have aged rather than worn, so check for perishing or stiffness. Verify the brake discs and calipers for binding after the car's long low-mileage periods, and confirm the exhaust and emissions remain within limits given the infrequent use.
