Manufacturer service-history reports and factory build sheets are being prepared. They are not currently available to purchase. A make or model guide does not confirm data coverage for that vehicle.
Read the dates as well as the odometer
A car used mainly in summer may cover little distance between services. Confirm the requirements for that exact vehicle instead of assuming that low mileage removes time-based maintenance.
Ask for the Digital Service Record where available and the invoices supporting it. Include specialist work with a source label rather than assuming every invoice must appear in the manufacturer system.
Separate roof, body and modification questions
Have the seller demonstrate the roof and other equipment relevant to the advertised variant. A past service does not establish present body condition or prove that a mechanism works today.
If the MX-5 has been modified, request the supporting installation paperwork and appropriate inspection. Keep those questions separate from whether its routine maintenance is documented.
Three questions to take to the seller or workshop
- Are low-mileage periods supported by dated servicing?
- Do the records match the generation and engine being sold?
- Which condition and modification questions need separate inspection?
Your next step
Read the Mazda record-source guide, or save your car in My Garage to organise evidence you already hold. A paid digital-record search cannot currently be ordered on FMSH; this guide is not confirmation of manufacturer coverage.
