2012 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · AF62 VGO

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 19 December 2025 at 72,103 miles. With no defects or advisories recorded across the last three consecutive annual tests, the mechanical condition appears well-maintained and free of chronic issues. The single failure recorded on 30 October 2023 at 65,720 miles was immediately rectified the following day, suggesting a diligent approach to compliance and maintenance by the previous owner. The recorded mileage of 72,103 miles over a 14-year lifespan equates to a modest annual average of approximately 5,150 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the provided history, with steady increments of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles per year between 2022 and 2025. Such light usage often preserves drivetrain components, though it necessitates careful scrutiny of rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushes which can perish or seize during extended periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills, as these models are prone to structural corrosion that may not always manifest in the MOT test until it reaches a critical threshold. While the recent history is clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check of the brake lines for surface oxidation and the suspension coil springs for signs of fatigue or snapping. Given the low annual mileage, verify that the soft-top seals remain supple and that the drainage channels are clear of debris to prevent water ingress into the cabin.
