2013 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · LO63 GPF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test on 1 December 2025 at 22,413 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This string of clean passes across multiple annual inspections suggests the vehicle has remained in consistently good condition and has not suffered from mechanical or structural failures that typically affect this model. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2013 registration, averaging only approximately 1,700 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered just 5,020 miles, moving from 17,393 to 22,413 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake surfaces, the consistent annual intervals suggest long periods of sitting which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemical breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific risks associated with low-mileage aging. Although the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, a thorough check of the chassis sills and rear wheel arches is essential as MX-5s are prone to rust if left stationary. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or rot, as these materials perish due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the metal surface effectively.
