2017 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · OV67 AEN

This vehicle is in a stable and highly roadworthy condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 9,827 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard of mechanical integrity. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old car, averaging roughly 1,092 miles per year. Between 8 July 2022 and 19 June 2025, the odometer only increased by 268 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary. While the lack of wear on the drivetrain is a positive, long intervals of inactivity can lead to specific degradation issues not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stagnation rather than wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not seizing, as low-mileage cars often suffer from binding brakes. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Verify the condition of the battery and all rubber seals or hoses, which can dry out and crack when a vehicle is not driven regularly. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, a manual check of the underbody is advised to ensure the low mileage has not masked any moisture-related degradation during long periods of storage.
