2006 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · JA04 HUG

The 2006 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 December 2025 at 85,189 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began with the 6 January 2023 pass at 78,347 miles. The December 2025 result shows the vehicle entered mid-2026 in sound tested condition with no advisories carried forward. Recorded mileage sits at 85,189 against a 20-year lifespan, an average of roughly 4,259 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle annual use: 78,347 miles in January 2023, 80,868 in January 2024, 82,887 in January 2025, and 85,189 in December 2025. Low yearly accumulation implies light running rather than hard use, though the sparse record leaves long gaps between tests unobserved. The 3 January 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, a likely administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points typical on two-decade-old Japanese roadsters, particularly sills, subframes, and suspension mounting faces. Although the MOT history flags no advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, standing periods implied by low mileage can mask perished rubber components and seized calipers not caught in a static test. Verify the 2024 dual entry with the DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect. Otherwise the documented care pattern suggests a lightly used car with consistent annual testing and no recorded consumable neglect.
