Our Verdict

Proceed with caution due to the age-related structural corrosion history. While the car has passed its most recent MOT, a professional inspection of the chassis and sills is essential before committing to a purchase.

When inspecting this MX-5, focus your attention on the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails. The 2024 MOT history specifically noted corrosion in the inner integral body structure, which is a common weak point for this generation of MX-5. Ensure you verify if any professional welding or rust treatment has been carried out recently to address these advisories.

Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, as these are critical for the 1.8-litre engine's longevity. Given the car's age, look for signs of a damp interior or soft-top leaks, as these can lead to floorpan rot. Negotiate the price based on the potential need for future rust mitigation work.
