2015 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · DG15 MYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 86,218 miles resulted in a failure due to insufficient windscreen washer fluid and an offside front tyre with inner edge wear. While the car passed immediately after rectification, the recurring nature of tyre-related defects suggests the owner only addresses consumable components once they reach legal limits or cause failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with roughly 10,000 miles covered between January 2023 and 2024, and another 7,700 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This linear progression suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components, though the low annual mileage places higher emphasis on age-related degradation of rubber parts. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry and alignment given the persistent inner edge tyre wear noted in both 2025 and 2026. This specific pattern often points to incorrect camber or worn control arm bushes which have not yet been flagged as a structural failure point. Additionally, the deterioration of the rear registration plate noted in 2025 indicates a potential lack of attention to cosmetic maintenance and exterior elements. While no structural corrosion has been recorded yet, a physical inspection of the sills and rear subframe remains essential for this generation of Mazda chassis to ensure no hidden rust is developing despite the clean MOT history.
