2019 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · YJ68 FDW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 20, 2026, 66,836 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent history indicates a minor lapse in pre-test preparation. While the car failed the initial test on that date due to an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper and incorrectly positioned front headlamps, these are non-mechanical defects that were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 32,182 miles in February 2023 to 45,615 miles in February 2024, and then to 57,927 miles by January 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion and issues with dried seals or rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly, as the January 2025 test at 57,927 miles flagged worn hub bushes on both the nearside and offside rear corners. Although these were noted as slightly worn and did not cause a failure, they indicate the beginning of wear and play in the rear geometry. You should also verify the condition of the wiper blades and headlamp alignment, as these have appeared as issues across the two most recent tests, ensuring the replacements were of sufficient quality and correctly adjusted.
