2013 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · DA13 UEL

The 2013 Mazda MX-5 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 44,841 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly at 42,995 miles on 10 July 2024 and at 42,056 miles on 1 July 2023, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. The trend is neither worsening nor resolving because no defects were ever formally logged by testers. Mileage stands at 44,841 against a 13-year-old roadster, equating to roughly 3,449 miles per year and reflecting light use. The records show narrow annual increments: 42,022 miles on 22 June 2023, 42,056 on 1 July 2023, 42,984 on 26 June 2024, 42,995 on 10 July 2024, and 44,841 on 25 June 2025. Two failed tests in June 2023 and June 2024 carry no recorded defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of consumable neglect, though long stationary periods implied by low mileage can disguise perished rubber components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the MX-5's age and the risk of corrosion on structural underbody members from infrequent use. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from checking for binding calipers or exhaust emissions integrity.
