2011 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · DA60 TMY

The 2011 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 69,587 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 69,587 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 4,639 miles per year. The DVSA data confirms light use: the car covered only 1,421 miles between the February 2022 test at 57,052 miles and the January 2023 test at 62,531 miles, then 1,593 miles to February 2024 at 64,124, 4,042 miles to February 2025 at 68,166, and 1,421 miles to February 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, clean record implies a careful owner who kept the roadster lightly exercised rather than neglected. A buyer should still inspect for structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MX-5 chassis suffers rust where cars stand unused for long periods. The low annual mileage suggests the roadster may have spent weeks idle, raising the risk of seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded suspension bushes despite the absence of recorded advisories. Verify the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions during a physical viewing. The clean MOT history offers strong assurance, but the age and low use mean rubber components and underbody integrity need hands-on confirmation before purchase.
