2017 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · OV67 AEA

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 56,406 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This streak of perfect results across multiple years suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach and that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage pattern is exceptionally consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per annum. Between the July 2021 test at 42,747 miles and the August 2025 test at 56,406 miles, the car covered 13,659 miles, showing steady and predictable usage patterns. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though it can occasionally lead to rubber degradation or fluid-related issues if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection should focus on common vulnerabilities specific to the MX-5 of this generation. A buyer must examine the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and rear sub, as these areas are prone to structural rust regardless of mileage. The inspector should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage play in rubber components until they reach a failure threshold.
