2002 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · MAZ 5007

This 2002 Mazda MX-5 is in exceptional condition according to its MOT history, with the most recent test on 17 April 2026 resulting in a pass with no defects. The mechanical trend is remarkably stable. There have been no recorded defects across the last five MOT tests dating back to 2019, suggesting a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained or very lightly used. The mileage is very low for a 24-year-old car, averaging only 1,242 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension, such low usage often implies long periods of standing. This can lead to perished rubber components, seized brakes, or degraded fluids despite the clean MOT record. Because the history is so clean and the mileage so low, the primary risk is under-use rather than wear and tear. When inspecting the car, prioritize checking the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion, and verifying that all rubber bushings and seals remain supple.
