1990 Eunos MX-5 1.6L Petrol · G288 LNY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on May 7, 2025 at 161,748 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all MOT standard requirements. This follows several years of clean passes, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they escalate into failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 and May 2025, the car covered 6,460 miles, showing a consistent pattern of low-intensity use over time. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, though the record does not show any resulting mechanical failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older MX-5 models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. The February 2021 test at 154,326 miles flagged a nearside rear wheel bearing with slight play, which was subsequently rectified given the clean records. While this specific issue appears resolved, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and wheel bearings remains necessary to ensure no new play has developed. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the brake lines for corrosion and the perished hoses is essential to ensure the low-mileage history has not masked hidden environmental damage.
