2006 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · FP06 TTV

The 2006 Mazda MX-5 passed its most recent MOT on 16 November 2023 at 57,128 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend and a roadworthy status at that time. The single clean test shows no worsening faults or recurring advisories across the supplied history. The recorded mileage of 57,128 at the November 2023 test equates to roughly 2,856 miles per year over the car's 20-year life, confirming very low use for its age. The MOT record contains only this one entry, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps between tests can be assessed from the data provided. Such low annual mileage suggests prolonged standing periods are likely, which carries its own risks absent from the clean test sheet. A buyer should physically inspect the underside and sills for structural corrosion, as the MX-5 of this era is prone to rust where moisture gathers during long storage. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing from inactivity rather than wear. Verify brake discs and calipers for seizing or surface pitting caused by disuse, and confirm tyre sidewalls show no cracking from age. The clean 2023 result offers no flagged faults, but a standalone pass does not replace a hands-on check of standing-related degradation.
