2012 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · AD62 BDF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 19,856 miles with no defects recorded. The trend remains stable; no new faults have emerged since the 2025 test, where only a minor tyre cut and headlamp beam converters were noted. The absence of recurring issues suggests satisfactory upkeep. Mileage growth is modest. From 18,004 miles in April 2025 to 19,856 miles in May 2026, the car accumulated just 1,852 miles over 13 months, well below the 1,418 average per year calculated over its 14‑year history. No abrupt jumps or long idle periods appear in the record, indicating consistent, low‑usage operation. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front outer tyres, ensuring cuts do not extend to the ply or cords, as previously flagged. Headlamp aim should be checked against the beam converter installation; mis‑aimed beams were the sole reason for the 2022 failure. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, as well as the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, since these components were previously noted during the 2022 test. A visual scan for rust on the chassis and body panels will confirm the vehicle’s structural integrity. Finally, confirm that the exhaust system remains free of leaks and that emissions comply with the latest standards. Overall, the record reflects a well‑maintained, low‑mileage Mazda MX‑5 with no significant mechanical deterioration. Provided the buyer confirms the points above, the car should remain roadworthy for the foreseeable future.
