2013 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · MXI 5025

The 2025‑12‑09 MOT at 30,545 miles passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record. Since the 2022 test at 19,251 miles, each subsequent test has shown consistent mileage growth and no recorded failures, suggesting the owner has maintained the vehicle without major mechanical neglect. At 13 years old, the 30,545‑mile total equates to roughly 2,350 miles per year, a figure below the typical usage for a car of this vintage. The jump from 19,251 miles in September 2022 to 25,693 miles in September 2023 represents an increase of over 6,000 miles in a single year, while the intervals between 2023 and 2024 and between 2024 and 2025 are more modest, reflecting regular but not intensive use. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue, and any binding in the rear brake calipers, as these components often show wear despite a clean MOT history. Inspection of the chassis for structural rust, the condition of the exhaust system, and verification of brake disc integrity and pad thickness are also advisable. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy with a low‑risk mechanical profile, but a physical inspection of suspension components, brake condition, and chassis integrity is advisable before purchase.
