2004 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · FG54 PXT

The 2004 Mazda MX-5 shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent examination. On 16 October 2023 the vehicle passed at 77,433 miles with no defects recorded. The same day produced a failed test at identical mileage and with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed without advisories on 11 September 2021 at 74,292 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 77,433 against an age of around 22 years, equating to roughly 3,520 miles per year. The gap between the September 2021 and October 2023 tests covers just 3,141 miles, confirming very light use. Sparse history with only two pass cycles in the supplied record limits longitudinal insight, though the absence of advisories on both occasions suggests no flagged wear at the tested intervals. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, given the MX-5's age and the risk of chassis rail rust where standing periods are implied by low annual mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite no tester advisories. The twin 2023 entries at 77,433 miles with conflicting outcomes mean the DVSA record itself needs verification before purchase.
