2007 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · D2 PCB

The 2007 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 78,765 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The recorded mileage of 78,765 against an approximate 19-year age equates to roughly 4,146 miles per year, indicating light use. The DVSA entries show steady, low annual accumulation: 74,211 miles on 8 March 2023, 75,951 on 8 March 2024, 77,113 on 7 March 2025, and 78,765 on 4 March 2026. A single failed test on 8 March 2023 at 74,211 miles is logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass the same day. The sparse, clean record gives no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions to act on. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as the MX-5 of this era is prone to sills and subframe corrosion that MOT testers may not always record as advisories at low mileages. Given the low standing mileage, check for perished rubber components, seized calipers from disuse, and tyre sidewall cracking dated beyond five years. The owner clearly kept basic statutory testing current, but the absence of flagged wear means in-person verification of consumables remains the buyer's responsibility.
