2002 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · S3 PRH

The June 2025 MOT at 27,548 miles confirmed a pass with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has remained stable since the 2022 test. All four MOTs from 2022 to 2025 show passes with zero defects. With 27,548 miles on a 2002 model, the average annual mileage is approximately 1,148 miles, indicating light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between tests are modest: 239 miles from June 2022 to June 2023, 265 miles from June 2023 to June 2024, and 342 miles from June 2024 to June 2025, showing no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and check the chassis and structural members for rust that could compromise integrity. Since no defects were logged, the car appears well cared for, but a physical inspection must verify that the exhaust system is free of leaks and that the tyre tread remains within legal limits.
