2017 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · NV17 FEJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 69,943 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in failures, suggesting the car has been well-maintained. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 31,827 miles and November 2024 at 57,945 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles, showing steady usage. The more recent interval of 11,998 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests confirms the vehicle remains in regular use, which helps prevent the seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. While the digital record shows no structural or recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Mazda MX-5. A buyer must check the underside for corrosion on the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, as MOT tests only flag significant structural integrity issues. Given the mileage, the buyer should also inspect the condition of the suspension bushes for cracking and check the state of the brake discs for thinning or pitting, as these components are not always highlighted during the annual test.
