2007 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · YB07 LND

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of gradual component degradation and age-related wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 110,486 miles passed, but it noted pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where the rear discs were flagged for similar issues. While the car has consistently passed its tests, the recurring mentions of brake hardware condition suggest a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive replacement of worn components. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 110,486 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,815 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, for example, roughly 2,500 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low annual mileage reduces the mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based suspension components and accelerated corrosion, which is evident in the vehicle's historical record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear sub-frames. The March 2022 test identified corrosion on both sub-frames and mounting areas, and while not deemed seriously weakened at that time, structural rust on MX-5 models requires constant monitoring to prevent catastrophic failure. Additionally, the history shows multiple instances of worn suspension arm bushes across both 2022 and 2024. The buyer should check for excessive play in the steering and suspension knocks, as these bushes have clearly been a recurring point of failure.
