2017 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · AE67 VRF

The 2017 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 May 2025 at 22,575 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The only blemish is a failure on 29 April 2025 at 22,499 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven fail, immediately corrected by the May pass. Mileage sits low for a nine-year-old roadster. The record shows 18,580 miles at the July 2022 test, 20,058 by July 2023, 20,599 in May 2024, and 22,499 to 22,575 across the two 2025 tests. That averages roughly 2,500 miles per year. Gaps between tests are narrow and the accumulation is gentle, with no rapid spikes that would hint at neglected high-use periods. The history is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage MX-5s often develop surface corrosion on structural underbody members and exhaust hangers while idle. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring mechanical trend exists, but pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall condition and binding calipers remain sensible given the April 2025 anomaly.
