Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 1998 Mazda MX-5 has a clean MOT record with all tests passed since 2022. The most recent test on 2025-07-22 at 124,905 miles indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded. The vehicle's recorded mileage of 124,905 miles, with an average annual mileage of 4,461 miles over the past four years, suggests a low usage pattern. Notably, there are no significant gaps in the MOT record, and the mileage has increased steadily, with an average annual increase of approximately 2,521 miles. This trend indicates consistent use and regular maintenance. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus on inspecting the vehicle's mechanical condition in person. The suspension and steering components, which have not been flagged in the MOT history, should be inspected for signs of wear, such as tired suspension bushes and worn-out coil springs. Additionally, the brake system, which has not been mentioned in the MOT record, should be inspected for any signs of binding or worn-out brake pads and discs. The buyer should also inspect the exhaust emissions and check for any signs of structural rust, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, to ensure the vehicle's structural integrity.
