2007 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · SP07 UNW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 22 December 2025 at 93,308 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard following initial failures. The recurring failures in November 2024 and December 2025 suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately after they are flagged, as the vehicle passed within four days of the failed test in both instances. At 19 years old, the recorded 93,308 miles represent an average of approximately 4,911 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,000 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test. This low-mile profile reduces the wear on major drivetrain components and engine internals but increases the risk of component corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans where the MX-5 is prone to hidden rust. While the MOT record shows no current defects, the low mileage means that rubber components like suspension bushes and brake boots may have perished due to age rather than wear. Check the brake system for signs of seizing or binding calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust removal on the discs and drums.
