2001 Mazda MX5 1.6L Petrol · BJZ 8312

The most recent MOT test was completed on 28 August 2025 at 24,071 miles, resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has a consistently clean history, passing every annual test since 2021 without any advisories or failed tests noted. The mechanical condition trend appears very stable. There is no evidence in the records of worsening issues or recurring defects. The car has met safety standards reliably over the last four years without requiring significant repairs. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 963 miles per year. While this indicates the car has not been used heavily, it suggests a pattern of long periods standing still. Low mileage can lead to specific issues such as dried-out seals or degraded fluids, which are not always captured as defects in an MOT. Since the MOT history is clear, you should focus your inspection on the effects of age and inactivity rather than past mechanical failures. Check the suspension and brakes for stiffness or seized components, as these can suffer when a car is not driven regularly.
