2016 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · EO16 OLX

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. In the most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 23,957 miles, the DVSA examiner passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories logged. Prior annual examinations from 17 March 2022 through 11 March 2025 similarly returned passes with zero faults, confirming a consistent absence of mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old roadster. The odometer advanced from 15,364 miles at the March 2022 test to 19,955 miles by March 2024, then reached 22,066 miles in March 2025 and 23,957 miles at the March 2026 inspection. That equates to roughly 2,400 miles per annum, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps exceeding a single year between tests. Such a sparse yet punctual record suggests the previous keeper maintained scheduled MOT compliance while limiting routine wear on drivetrain and consumables. Despite the unblemished MOT ledger, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that low mileage and prolonged standing can mask. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but a buyer should scrutinise suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for latent deterioration given the 2016 manufacture date. The absence of tyre or wiper blade advisories shows the owner renewed consumables proactively; nonetheless, verify tyre sidewalls and caliper operation on a road trial, as static passes omit intermittent binding.
