2010 Mazda MX-5 I 20TH Anniversary 1.8L Other · ND10 PPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 27 June 2025 at 46,587 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 16 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,912 miles per year. There is a discrepancy in the recorded data between the 3 July 2024 test at 47,562 miles and the 27 June 2025 test at 46,587 miles. This reduction in mileage suggests either a recording error by the tester or a potential odometer issue. The low overall usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often introduces different wear patterns than high-mileage use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation from inactivity. While the MOT records show no current defects, low-mileage MX-5s often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and tyre flat-spotting. Check for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as structural rust can develop regardless of mileage. Verify the odometer reading to resolve the mileage discrepancy noted between 2024 and 2025. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check the fluid levels to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing without basic maintenance.
