2016 MAZDA MX-52.0L Petrol

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 23,669 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 19,398 miles, January 2024 at 18,149 miles, and January 2023 at 16,432 miles all passed clean. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening condition across its five-year recorded history. At roughly ten years old the car has covered just 23,669 miles, an average of about 2,367 miles per year. The mileage climbed from 16,432 in January 2023 to 18,149 by January 2024, then to 19,398 in July 2024, and 23,669 by July 2025. This reflects light, intermittent use with no rapid accumulation. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though low standing mileage raises the usual caveats around perished seals and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from prolonged storage, and confirm brake discs are free of corrosion pitting after low-use winters. The MX-5's chassis rails and sills warrant a close check for structural rust despite no advisories being raised. The duplicate 25 July 2025 entry with a no-defect fail should be clarified with the selling garage to rule out a clerical error in the DVSA log.
