2007 Mazda RX-8 2.6L Petrol · LD07 FHR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 29 April 2025 at 94,920 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, following a period of consistent compliance in 2024 and 2022. While a failure occurred in April 2023 at 87,877 miles, the immediate re-pass on the same day indicates the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults quickly. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,920 miles averages out to approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and low usage pattern, with 2,635 miles driven between May 2024 and April 2025, and 4,622 miles between April 2023 and May 2024. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of component degradation and rubber-related failures due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension for structural corrosion, as the RX-8 is prone to rust in the wheel arches and sills. Despite the clean MOT records, the low mileage necessitates a close check of the suspension bushes and bushings which can crack and perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation and mechanical binding that a standard MOT test might not fully capture.
