2013 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · WA13 XEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test just nine months ago at 51,773 miles with no recorded defects. This reflects a positive trend following a period of minor mechanical and cosmetic failures in previous years. While the 2024 test identified several lighting and tyre issues, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests the owner addressed these faults and maintained the vehicle effectively thereafter. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 1,285 miles covered between the September 2024 and 2025 tests. This pattern typically indicates lower mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though the low annual de-mile often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to time rather than friction-related tear. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front tyres, as the 2024 test flagged perishing and uneven wear on both the nearside and offside tyres. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stem from dry rot rather than distance traveled, which can compromise grip if not replaced recently. The inspector must also verify the chassis and structural points for corrosion, as MX-5 models of this era are prone to rust when left stationary for long periods, despite the low mileage recorded.
