2017 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · BV67 AEK

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test in August 2025 at 11,125 miles recorded no defects, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition. This trend suggests the car has been kept to without any mechanical failures or structural weaknesses being flagged by the DVSA during the annual inspection cycle. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,236 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 4,376 miles and August 2025 at 11,125 miles, the car covered only 6,749 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and the engine, the infrequent intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may spend long periods of standing. Such patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or oxidation of fluids despite the lack of mechanical mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on issues associated with low-mileage storage. Specifically check the brake discs for surface corrosion or flat spots on the tyres which often occur when a car sits stationary for extended periods. Examine the suspension bushes and rubber mounts for cracking, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the age of the MX-5, a thorough chassis check for early-stage structural rust remains necessary, even though the MOT history has not flagged any structural integrity concerns to date.
