1997 Mazda MX-5 Monaco 1.6L Petrol · JKZ 1607

The most recent MOT test in April 2022 resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded at that time. The history shows a pattern of passing MOTs between 2018 and 2020, with the failure occurring in 2022. This suggests that the vehicle's condition trend is not clearly improving or worsening based solely on these three entries, but rather shows inconsistency around the failure point. The mileage of 147,075 miles over a period of approximately 29 years indicates an average of around 5,072 miles per year. This mileage level is relatively low for the vehicle's age, which could suggest lighter overall use or extended periods where the car was not driven regularly. Given the limited history, the primary risk pattern is that the failure in 2022 was not flagged with specific details, making it difficult to ascertain the exact cause of the previous failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, brake wear, and the general condition of the drivetrain components thoroughly during an in-person inspection.
