2001 Mazda Eunos 1.8L Petrol · AFG 443S

The 2001 Mazda Eunos passed its most recent MOT on 8 January 2024 at 167,542 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable roadworthiness status and no worsening maintenance trend across the available history. The test prior to that, on 26 November 2021 at 156,507 miles, also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 25 November 2021 at the identical mileage of 156,507 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage rose from 156,507 in November 2021 to 167,542 by January 2024, a gain of 11,035 miles over roughly 25 months, equating to about 5,300 miles per year and sitting slightly below the lifetime average of 6,702. The 25-year-old roadster shows sparse testing with a near two-year gap between the 2021 and 2024 exams, and the clean sheets across both passes suggest either conscientious upkeep or, at minimum, no flagged wear at the points of inspection. No rapid accumulation or standing-still pattern is evident from the figures supplied. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, chassis rails, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record stays silent on these and a 2001 Japanese convertible is prone to rust where moisture collects. The tester noted no advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but the absence of recorded wear at 167,542 miles does not certify component life remaining. Verify the 2021 fail reason with DVSA, since a no-defect failure often means a documentation mismatch rather than a roadworthy concern.
