Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of a modern MX-5 RF Sport Tech. With a clean recent MOT history and mileage well below the model average, it represents a low-risk option for enthusiasts.
When inspecting this specific 2020 model, verify that the RF (Retractable Fastback) mechanism operates smoothly without hesitation or unusual noise. Given the low mileage, ensure that the service history matches the intervals expected for a vehicle of this age, even if the mileage suggests less frequent use.
Negotiate based on the tyre condition; while the 2023 MOT noted a minor defect on the nearside rear tyre, you should check if these were replaced or if any other tyres show signs of perishing due to low usage. Ask for evidence of any recent maintenance performed since the June 2025 MOT.
As a 2.0L petrol vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback but typical for a performance roadster. You should expect moderate fuel economy depending on driving style, and as a Euro 6AP compliant vehicle, it is exempt from most low-emission zone charges.
Insurance groups for the MX-5 vary, so obtain a quote specific to this 1998cc engine variant. Maintenance costs are generally predictable for Mazdas, though tyre replacement can be a recurring cost for performance-oriented setups.
Focus on the tyre condition, as the MOT history specifically flagged a nearside rear tyre issue in 2023. Check all four tyres for cracks or perishing, which can occur on low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for periods.
Additionally, inspect the hardtop roof seals and the mechanical operation of the RF roof to ensure there is no water ingress. Since the 2024 and 2025 MOTs recorded no defects, the mechanical components appeared compliant at those times, but a physical check of the suspension and brakes is always advised.
Registered in July 2020, this Red Mazda MX-5 RF Sport Tech has covered 24,489 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,209 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with the only recorded issue being a minor tyre defect in 2023. The vehicle currently shows no defects as of its most recent test in June 2025.
The Mazda MX-5 maintains a strong reputation, with an aggregate MOT pass rate of 94.3% across 577 analysed vehicles.
