2009 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · LL59 GYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 90,727 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a failure just eleven days prior at 90,704 miles. This specific failure sequence suggests a minor administrative issue or a light-related fault that was immediately rectified before the re-test, indicating the owner is proactive in maintaining legal roadworthiness standards. At 90,727 miles, this 17-year-old Mazda reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,337 miles per year. The data shows very consistent usage patterns with mileage intervals of roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles between annual tests from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. This low-frequency operation typically reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though low-use vehicles of this age are often susceptible to the degradation of rubber components and fluid acidity due to infrequent running. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans, as older MX-5 models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. While the MOT history is clean of mechanical advisories, the age of the vehicle means suspension bushes and rubber mounts should be checked for perishation or cracking. Given the low mileage, also verify the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust on the braking system.
