2018 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · HT18 KPV

The 2018 Mazda MX‑5 is currently roadworthy, with the latest MOT on 11 August 2025 at 59,724 miles showing a pass and no defects recorded. All five annual tests from August 2021 through August 2025 have passed without recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance record that has not deteriorated. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 23,922 miles in August 2021 to 59,724 miles in August 2025, averaging about 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old car. The increments between tests are consistent, with the largest jump of 11,413 miles between August 2023 and August 2024, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding and that the brake discs show even wear, and examine the chassis for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive emissions, and the tyre tread depth should be measured, as the record shows no prior tyre‑related advisories but consumable wear can still be present.
