2017 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · OV67 AEG

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded across its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-21 inspection at 32,964 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, with no signs of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 3,663 miles, significantly below typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 7,700-mile increase between 2021 (15,317 miles) and 2022 (23,029 miles), followed by slower accumulation to 30,868 miles by 2023. This pattern may indicate periods of reduced use or storage, which could affect components like tyres, fluids, and corrosion resistance. The clean MOT history mitigates concerns, but a physical inspection is advised to confirm no hidden degradation from inactivity. A buyer should prioritise checking for rust, particularly in body panels and underbody areas, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluids. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for corrosion or uneven wear, while the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified. No specific issues were flagged in the records, but these areas remain critical for a vehicle with this usage profile.
