2016 Mazda MX-5 1.5L Petrol · YN66 NBK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 January 2026 at 46,821 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the clean result from the previous test in December 2025 where the car had only 21 miles prior. This consistency suggests the vehicle is currently in a good mechanical state without immediate repair requirements. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,682 miles annually. There is a significant data gap between the June 2019 test at 35,583 miles and the December 2025 test, during which the car covered only 11,217 miles. While the low usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, the long intervals between tests may indicate periods of standing. This can sometimes lead to issues such as fluid degradation or the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on common low-mileage MX-5 vulnerabilities. Attention should be paid to structural integrity around the sills and rear wheel arches, as moisture retention can cause corrosion on cars that are not driven frequently. The buyer should also check the condition of the tyres for sidew cracking, as age-related rot often occurs before tread wear limits. Inspecting the brake calipers for seizing or pitting is also advisable given the periods of inactivity suggested by the mileage data.
