2009 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · CA09 URP

The 2026‑01‑05 MOT at 60,375 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition. Earlier tests at 51,821 miles and 55,450 miles also yielded clean results, indicating that any earlier failures were administrative rather than mechanical. The mileage trajectory over the past three years reflects steady use: an increase of roughly 3,600 miles between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and a further 4,900 miles by the January 2026 test, consistent with the low annual average of about 3,500 miles for a 17‑year‑old car. No extended periods of inactivity are evident from the documented dates. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for any structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, as these components are common failure points in high‑mileage MX‑5s. Additionally, checking tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emissions will help verify that the vehicle’s overall mechanical health matches the clean MOT record.
