1998 Mazda RX-7 2.6L Petrol · R77 XFD

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 April 2026 at 51,587 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent four-year trend of clean passes dating back to March 2022, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and remains mechanically sound. The mileage is very low for a 23-year-old car, averaging roughly 2,243 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, moving from 49,764 miles in March 2022 to 51,587 miles in April 2026. This pattern suggests the car is used sparingly as a collector's piece or weekend vehicle rather than a daily driver. While the MOT history is devoid of faults, the low annual mileage raises specific concerns regarding long periods of standing. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, can perish from age even if the tread remains legal. Special attention must be paid to the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers may overlook minor rust that does not yet compromise safety. Given the rotary engine in this model, the lack of recorded exhaust emissions failures is positive, but a physical check of the oil and coolant levels is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from neglect during its periods of inactivity.
