1995 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · M153 ECL

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend over the last four years, with the most recent test on 30 June 2025 resulting in a pass. The record indicates a single failure on that same date due to a non-functional horn, which was rectified to achieve the pass. Aside from this isolated electrical fault, the previous tests in June 2024, June 2023, and June 2022 all returned with no defects or advisories recorded. The recorded mileage of 175,179 miles suggests an average annual usage of approximately 5,651 miles. For a 1995 model, this represents relatively low mileage accumulation over its thirty-one-year lifespan. The MOT data provided does not show specific mileage increments for each individual year, making it impossible to identify periods of rapid use or long-term inactivity through the records alone. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity, specifically looking for corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, as these are common areas for age-related deterioration in this model. While the MOT history is currently free of advisories regarding braking systems, suspension bushes, or tyre wear, the low annual mileage could imply the vehicle has spent significant time stationary. This warrants a close examination of rubber components, such as coolant hoses and drive belts, to check for perishing or cracking that an MOT test might not fully capture.
