2010 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · KU10 FBY

The 2010 Mazda MX-5 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 79,513 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle at 79,513 recorded miles, averaging roughly 4,970 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady, light use: 66,976 miles in November 2021, 69,268 in October 2022, 72,284 in November 2023, 76,103 in November 2024, and 79,513 in December 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 3,000 to 3,800 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. Such low, consistent figures suggest gentle touring rather than daily commuting, though prolonged standing between runs can let perishables and fluids degrade unseen. No advisories or failures appear in the record, so the history gives no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion to chase. The clean sheet implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for rust, given the car's age and open two-seater design, and verify tyre sidewall condition and brake caliper freedom after any storage periods. Given the sparse but fault-free MOT trail, a pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm underside condition and fluid states not covered by the annual test. The low mileage and repeated passes point to a lightly used, well-kept example rather than a neglected one.
