1990 Mazda MX5 1.6L Lpg · G204 BBK

The most recent MOT, conducted in November 2023, passed with several noted issues. A recurring pattern in the history involves corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring and corrosion on brake pipes. There is also evidence of under body rust noted in multiple inspections. The trend in the MOT history shows that while some issues were addressed or passed, significant corrosion and wear items have been noted across different inspections. This suggests a pattern of ongoing wear and potential structural concerns rather than an improving condition. The mileage of 201,738 miles over approximately 36 years suggests a relatively low annual mileage of around 5,604 miles per year. This lower mileage might indicate lighter overall use, but it does not negate the specific wear items recorded in the MOT history. A buyer should immediately inspect the undercarriage for further signs of corrosion, particularly around the areas noted as corroded in the 2023 report. Secondly, check the condition and wear of the tyres, as they were noted as being close to the legal limit on multiple occasions. Finally, thoroughly inspect the areas around the nearside rear suspension components and brake lines for any signs of active corrosion or leaks.
