MAZDA MX-52012 · 1.8L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 June 2025 at 47,158 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean tests suggests that the previous owners maintained the car to a high standard and that mechanical components are currently operating within normal parameters without immediate failure risks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,368 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 2,664 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low mileage typically results in minimal wear on high-friction items such as the drivetrain, engine internals, and brake system surfaces. However, such low-usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and age-related perishables. Mazda MX-5 models of this generation are prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and suspension mounting points, which an MOT tester may not always detect if they are hidden. The buyer should also check for cracking in sidewalls and suspension bushings, as these materials age over time regardless of the low mileage. Additionally, inspect the brake fluid for moisture contamination and ensure that the infrequent use has not led to internal corrosion within the brake lines.
