2007 Mazda MX-5 1.8L Petrol · YC07 FFK

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is poor , as the most recent MOT test at 61,875 miles in March 2026 has failed, indicating a recurring mechanical issue. The maintenance trend is worsening , evidenced by the failure to pass the test at the same mileage point on March 19th, 2026, which confirms that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance since the previous pass. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data shows a significant gap between the March 2026 test and the March 2025 test, where the vehicle passed at 60,085 miles without any recorded defects. This suggests that the owner may have been driving the car for an extended period or had long standing periods of inactivity, leading to the accumulation of wear on suspension components and brake discs that is not reflected in the current record. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, fluid leaks in the suspension system, and structural corrosion on the engine bay. The failure of the rear brake pads and the presence of near-side shock absorber leaks indicate that the vehicle has been exposed to high stress without proper lubrication or replacement of worn bushings, which compromises the structural integrity of the suspension and braking system.
