1999 Mazda Eunos 1.6L Petrol · J475 KHW

The 1999 Mazda Eunos passed its most recent MOT on 1 July 2025 at 188,507 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend across the available history. The earlier test on 3 May 2023 at 187,219 miles also passed cleanly. Two consecutive passes with zero advisories suggest the vehicle currently presents as roadworthy under DVSA criteria. The recorded mileage shows only 1,288 miles accumulated between May 2023 and July 2025, an annual rate of roughly 640 miles over that period against a lifetime average near 6,982 miles per year. This sharp drop implies the car stood largely idle or covered only short local journeys in the last two years. The sparse record gives just two data points across a 27-year life, so no recurring fault pattern or worsening trend can be established from the official data. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on a 27-year-old Japanese roadster, particularly sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points where age-related rust develops. The clean MOT history means no specific advisories exist for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but standing time raises risk of perished rubber, seized calipers, and flat-spotted tyres. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and confirm the 2025 test genuinely reflects the car's condition rather than a lenient check. Given the low recent use, a pre-purchase inspection should prioritise fluid condition, brake binding after storage, and tyre sidewall cracking before any committed purchase.
