2016 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · DX66 XJF

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 4,905 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes with zero advisories across every available entry. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The August 2021 test logged 4,794 miles, rising only to 4,905 miles by May 2025, a total accumulation of just 111 miles over roughly four years. Annual increments never exceeded 108 miles, confirming the car has covered around 490 miles per year since registration. The DVSA data contains no gaps or sudden accumulation, though the sparse, clean record offers little insight into component condition beyond absence of failure. A buyer should still verify in person the areas the MOT cannot assess under static testing. Long standing periods at this mileage risk perished rubber suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers through lack of use. We would inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the subframes and sills, check the brake discs for surface pitting, and confirm the hood mechanism and drain channels remain free of blockage. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners stored the car well and addressed any wear before test. Given the low annual mileage, prioritise evidence of dry storage and fluid renewal intervals over mechanical fatigue when viewing.
