1997 Mazda MX5 1.6L Petrol · AJZ 3661

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-10 confirmed the 1992 Mazda MX5 passed with no defects recorded at 115,712 miles. This follows a consistent pattern of passing MOTs since 2019, with no recorded defects in any of the five inspections. The vehicle has shown no signs of mechanical failure or safety issues in its recent history, suggesting it has been well-maintained. The mileage of 115,712 miles for a 34-year-old vehicle is unusually low, averaging just 3,403 miles per year. This could indicate the car has been driven infrequently, possibly stored for extended periods, or used in a way that minimizes wear. While low mileage often correlates with less mechanical stress on components like the engine and transmission, it may also lead to issues such as rubber seals drying out or moving parts seizing due to inactivity. The MOT history shows no recurring defects or worsening trends. All inspections from 2019 to 2025 were passed without issues, and the mileage has remained stable over the past four years. This suggests the vehicle’s condition has not deteriorated significantly. However, the lack of recent high-mileage use means critical components like the suspension, brakes, and steering may not have been tested under typical driving conditions.
