2014 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · MM53 CES

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 39,953 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,329 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2022 test at 28,227 miles and the September 2025 test at 39,953 miles shows a steady, low-volume usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or commercial activity. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age, particularly regarding corrosion or suspension wear. While the record is clean, the low mileage suggests the car may have spent significant periods stationary. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade due to age regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check the fluid condition to ensure the braking system has not suffered from stagnation. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary focus should be on verifying that the low-mileage status has not led to dormant mechanical issues that a standard MOT might overlook, such as battery health or oil sludge from infrequent oil changes.
