2006 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · KB06 CGF

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 recorded minor brake disc wear on both front and rear wheels, described as pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. This is the only defect noted in the last five MOTs, which otherwise show no issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 13,369 miles as of 2026-01-27 aligns with a long-term trend of minimal usage, averaging around 668 miles per year over 20 years. This low mileage suggests the car has likely been driven sparingly or stored for extended periods, which can lead to component degradation unrelated to active wear. The MOT history shows a stable condition over the past six years, with no recurring defects or escalating issues. The 2025-01-14, 2020-01-14, 2019-01-09, and 2017-12-20 tests all returned clean results, indicating the vehicle has not experienced significant mechanical deterioration. The recent brake disc findings are isolated and do not suggest a worsening trend, though they highlight the need for closer inspection of the braking system. The low mileage relative to the vehicle’s age (20 years) implies either light use or prolonged inactivity. While this may reduce wear on components like the drivetrain or suspension, it can also lead to issues such as brake rotor corrosion, seized calipers, or degraded rubber seals. The absence of other defects in the MOT history supports the conclusion that the car has been well-maintained, but the brake disc condition warrants attention.
