2015 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · FN15 DWK

The 2015 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy following the October 2025 pass at 72,122 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history shows two administrative-style failures with no defects logged, one on 20 September 2025 at 72,087 miles and another on 1 October 2024 at 66,154 miles. These entries suggest paperwork or identification issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults, as every recorded test returned a clean defect sheet. Mileage sits at 72,122 against an 11-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,557 miles per year, which is typical for the model's age. The car covered 7,897 miles between the September 2023 pass at 58,257 miles and the October 2024 test at 66,154 miles, then added only 5,968 miles across the following year to the 2025 pass. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the record. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion points, as the MX-5's age makes these vulnerable even without MOT advisories. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding or uneven wear from the low annual mileage, which can allow surface rust to develop during standing periods. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed items before each examination or the car saw gentle use. Verify the two zero-defect failures were clerical and not linked to undocumented rectifications, then confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions on viewing.
