2012 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · 873 PBJ

The MOT record for this 2012 Mazda MX-5 indicates a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by four consecutive clean passes between June 2022 and June 2025. The most recent test conducted on 26 June 2025 at 33,101 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety standards consistently over the last four years without the emergence of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The vehicle has accumulated 33,101 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 2,364 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the provided four-year history, with no evidence of rapid usage or significant gaps in testing. While the low mileage may reduce wear on high-friction drivetrain components, it does not preclude the possibility of age-related degradation in rubber seals, hoses, or suspension bushings that often occurs during extended periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills, as these models are prone to corrosion that may not be fully captured by a standard MOT inspection. Given the vehicle's age, check the condition of the brake lines for surface oxidation and ensure the suspension components remain free of perished rubber gaiters. Verify that the soft-top mechanism operates smoothly and inspect the wheel arches for any signs of trapped moisture or structural rust, as these areas are common points of failure for this generation of MX-5. Buying score 75. Risk level Low.
