1990 Mazda MX-5 1.6L Petrol · H271 BGN

The 1990 Mazda MX‑5 is presently roadworthy, as the 31 October 2025 MOT at 202,392 miles recorded zero defects. All five annual tests from 2021 through 2025 have passed without any recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance pattern. The recorded mileage has risen from 189,252 miles in October 2021 to 202,392 miles in October 2025, an increase of 13,140 miles over four years, or roughly 3,300 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s low annual usage figure of about 5,600 miles. No significant gaps appear between the test dates. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, confirm that the rear calipers are not binding and that the brake discs exhibit even wear, and examine the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion that could affect integrity. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical faults, a visual check of the exhaust system for corrosion, verification of tyre tread depth, and assessment of wiper blade condition are advisable to ensure the vehicle remains free of hidden wear.
