2010 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · NG59 NDZ

The July 2026 MOT at 95,860 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record has been stable since the previous year. All tests from 2023 onward have passed without recorded faults, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual increase of roughly 1,500‑2,000 miles per year from 2013 (51,352 miles) to 2022 (84,981 miles), with the most recent jump of 2,899 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting a modest rise in usage but no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The overall annual mileage of about 5,991 miles is low for a 16‑year‑old car, implying lighter use or longer intervals between driving. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components that have shown past wear, such as the anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers, rear shock absorber condition, and tyre wear patterns that indicate possible alignment or bush wear, while also examining the front brake disc for pitting, brake pad thickness, and the condition of the brake discs for corrosion. Structural rust was noted on brake discs in 2013 but has not recurred in later tests. Overall, the vehicle’s consistent MOT success and low annual mileage imply careful use, yet a thorough in‑person inspection of the suspension, braking system and tyre condition is essential to confirm that the historical wear has not progressed to a critical failure.
