2013 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · DA13 CMV

The 2013 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 April 2025 at 25,142 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for a 13-year-old vehicle. Records show 21,836 miles at the 1 June 2021 test, rising to just 25,142 miles by April 2025. That equates to roughly 834 miles added per year across the last four tests. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the car covered only 1,054 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low annual coverage suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test sheets show no neglect in statutory testing. A buyer should still inspect for corrosion on structural underbody members and suspension mounting points, as the MX-5's age makes hidden rust plausible despite no advisories being raised. The long idle spells hint at possible perished rubber components such as suspension bushes or brake hose degradation not caught in a static test. Check the brake discs for face corrosion from disuse and confirm the coil springs and calipers move freely. The absence of recorded faults means no recurring mechanical trend exists, but low-mileage classics demand a physical check beneath the sills and around the wheel arches before purchase.
