2013 Mazda MX-5 I Roadster Sport Graphite 2.0L Petrol · GY13 ZRD

A consistent record of clean MOT certificates without any recorded defects or advisories defines this vehicle's documented roadworthiness history. Since the first recorded test in July 2017, the car has maintained a pattern of passing inspections without any failures or flagged component wear, including the most recent pass on 03 January 2026. This lack of recorded advisories across eight consecutive tests indicates that no specific issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or suspension components have been officially flagged by examiners during these inspections. The recorded mileage of 83,533 miles over approximately thirteen years represents a steady usage profile of roughly 6,426 miles per year. This annual accumulation rate is consistent with typical light-to-moderate road use for a vehicle of this age. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of mileage suggests that while components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs have been subject to regular operation, they have not been subjected to the high-frequency wear associated with heavy long-distance commuting. The absence of significant gaps in the testing timeline suggests the vehicle has been in regular, intermittent use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Because the official DVSA records show no recorded advisories for corrosion, oil misting, or worn suspension linkages, there are no specific mechanical faults to investigate based on historical failures. However, given the age of the vehicle and the specific model, a physical inspection should still focus on areas that may not always trigger an MOT advisory unless they reach a critical threshold. On a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or knocks from the front or rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushes or ball joints. Further inspection should include a check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox, as well as an examination of the underside for any emerging surface corrosion on the subframes or exhaust system. While the MOT history is clear of brake-related defects, you should test the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or judder under braking to ensure the hydraulic system and discs are performing as expected. The absence of recorded defects provides a baseline of compliance, but the physical condition of consumables should be verified independently.
