Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for this silver 2.0L MX-5, provided the service history matches its clean recent MOT record. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with very low mileage for its age.
When inspecting this specific 2015 model, focus on the service history to ensure the 2.0L petrol engine has received regular oil changes, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the car's low mileage, check for any signs of age-related wear on rubber components or seals that may have dried out from infrequent use.
Negotiate based on the 2024 MOT failure; although it passed immediately after, ask for clarification on what the specific defect was to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue. Ensure the convertible roof mechanism operates smoothly without hesitation, as this is a key component of the MX-5 experience.
Running this 1998cc petrol MX-5 will involve moderate costs. As a sports car, insurance groups can vary, so it is vital to get a quote based on your specific profile. Fuel economy is generally respectable for a 2.0L engine, but expect higher consumption if driven spiritedly.
Maintenance costs for Mazdas are typically predictable, though you should budget for items common to this model. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,800.
Based on aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle for any signs of early corrosion, which is a top failure reason for the MX-5. Check the suspension components, specifically the suspension arms and coil springs, as these are noted frequent failure points in the wider dataset.
On this specific silver vehicle, also inspect the condition of the convertible top and the seals around the windows to ensure they are watertight. Since the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, the structural and safety components appear to be in a passing state, but a physical inspection of the suspension is always prudent.
This 2015 Mazda MX-5 (MX65KYM) presents with 51,067 miles, which is significantly lower than the average annual mileage of 3,069 seen in the wider model sample. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record since 2022, with the most recent test in October 2025 recording no defects. While there was a failure recorded in October 2024 at 43,384 miles, the subsequent pass indicates the issue was addressed.
The Mazda MX-5 shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.4% across the analysed fleet, with common issues involving corrosion and suspension components.
