2017 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · DX67 YBJ

The vehicle presents an exemplary roadworthiness profile with a consistently stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 August 2025 at 42,770 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of perfection across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered significant mechanical failures or structural issues during testing. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,752 miles per year. Data from the 2021 test at 21,973 miles through the 2025 test at 42,770 miles shows consistent, low-intensity usage without any periods of rapid accumulation. While low mileage generally suggests reduced wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and braking systems, the long intervals between tests indicate the car may sit for extended periods, which can sometimes affect rubber-based components or fluid degradation more than high-mile use. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for signs of perish rot in suspension bushes, bushings, and tyre sidewalls, as well as brake caliper seizing or rust from disuse. Given the MX-5 platform, a thorough visual check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear arches remains essential, though the clean MOT records have not flagged any structural integrity concerns to date.
