2017 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · FH17 VJZ

The 2017 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 90,550 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean annual results since at least 2021. Mileage accumulation has been consistent and moderate across the recorded period. The car covered 36,880 miles by 27 August 2021, then 50,773 by 4 August 2022, 65,464 by 24 August 2023, 79,435 by 23 August 2024, and 90,550 by the 2025 test. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 14,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps, indicating steady use rather than neglect or storage rot. The DVSA history shows no advisories or failures at any stage, so the record itself is sparse on fault data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is now nine years old and past 90,000 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, but MX-5 models are prone to sill and subframe rust in damp conditions, so a ramp check of structural integrity remains sensible. The clean test history implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, yet absence of advisories means wear items like tyres and wiper blades were likely changed before each test rather than left to drift. Verify actual tread depth and fluid condition in person, as the records alone confirm legal compliance, not component longevity.
