Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
If you proceed, your primary focus must be on the extent of the corrosion. The MOT records show that since 2021, the front and rear sub-frames have been repeatedly flagged for corrosion. You should check if any welding or structural repairs have been carried out to address this, and request evidence of such work.
Additionally, negotiate on the basis of upcoming maintenance needs. The 2025 MOT noted worn suspension arm pins/bushes and corrosion in the seat belt anchorage areas. Ensure these are not just advisories but are addressed before purchase, as seat belt anchorage corrosion is a critical safety matter. Check the service history for evidence of regular underbody cleaning or rust prevention treatments.
As a 2.0L petrol model, running costs will be higher than smaller-capacity roadsters. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but you should budget for typical petrol costs for a 1999cc engine.
Insurance groups for MX-5s vary, but as a 2007 model, it should fall into a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs may be impacted by the age of the vehicle, specifically regarding suspension components and exhaust systems, which have appeared in recent MOT records. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,100-£1,400, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
A thorough underbody inspection is essential. The MOT history specifically identifies corrosion on the front upper sub-frame, rear sub-frame, and seat belt anchorage areas. Use a torch to inspect these specific points for any signs of perforation or significant structural degradation that may go beyond the 'not seriously weakened' status noted in the records.
Secondly, inspect the suspension. The most recent MOT (2025) flagged worn pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front upper suspension arms. Test the car on a road to listen for knocks or clunks. Finally, check the exhaust system, as the 2024 MOT noted a minor leak and noise, which may indicate the need for a replacement in the near future.
This 2007 Mazda MX-5 (CK07FSS) has covered 72,211 miles since its first registration in March 2007. While the mileage is relatively moderate, the MOT history shows a consistent trend of corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames dating back to at least 2021. Recent tests also indicate wear in the suspension components and seat belt anchorages.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.6% MOT pass rate, with corrosion and exhaust issues being common failure reasons across the fleet.
