AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 1991 Mazda MX5 passed its most recent MOT on 17 June 2026 at 108,871 miles, with only a minor oil leak recorded under item 8.4.1 (a) (i), confirming a stable and non‑deteriorating condition. Mileage has risen from 105,352 miles in June 2022 to 108,871 miles in June 2026, an increase of 3,519 miles over four years, or roughly 879 miles per year, which aligns with the low annual average of about 3,111 miles suggested by the vehicle’s age and indicates periods of limited use rather than rapid accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for any binding or uneven wear, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the near‑side rear wheel arch where a slight distortion was noted in the 2022 test. Given the consistent pass rate, low mileage and absence of major defects, the vehicle appears well‑cared for, but the age of the car means that a thorough physical examination of suspension components, brake performance, and any hidden corrosion is essential before purchase.
