2021 Mazda MX-5 R-Sport 1.5L Petrol · LS21 XLB

The vehicle presents an excellent roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean MOT record across its entire testing history. The most recent test conducted on 27 March 2026 at 18,588 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,718 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 3,118 miles, followed by another 1,945 miles leading into the 2025 and 2026 tests. This low usage indicates either short-distance commuting or seasonal storage, which typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and the engine, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spot tyres if the vehicle is not driven regularly. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still inspect specific areas associated with low-mileage cars. Focus on checking the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car sits for extended periods. Examine the rubber suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these materials can age over time regardless of low mileage. Given the clean record, the structural integrity and exhaust system appear sound, but a visual check of the underbody for any early surface rust remains standard practice.
